Badly approximable vectors on a vertical Cantor set

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

For i, j > 0, i + j = 1, the set of badly approximable vectors with weight (i, j) is defined by Bad(i, j) =(x, y)R2:c > 0qN,maxqqx1/i, qqy1/j>c, where ||x|| is the distance from x to the nearest integer. In 2010 Badziahin-Pollington-Velani solved Schmidt’s conjecture which was stated in 1982, proving that Bad(i, j) ∩ Bad(j, i) is nonempty. Using Badziahin-Pollington-Velani’s technique with reference to fractal sets, we were able to improve their results: Assume that we are given a sequence (it, jt) with it, jt > 0, it + jt = 1. Then, the intersection of Bad(it, jt) over all t is nonempty.
