Abstract

This article deals with an analogue of Cassels' problem on inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation in function fields. The inhomogeneous approximation constant of a Laurent series θ € F1((1/ t)) with respect to ? € F1((1/ t)) is defined to be c(θ, ? ) = inf0N€Fq[t]= |N| |<Nθ ? γ>|. We show that inf0N€Fq[t]Fq θ € Fq((1/t )) sup((1/t)) c(θ, γ ) = q-2, and prove that for every θ the set BAθ = {γ € Fq ((1/t)): c(θ, γ ) > 0 } has full Hausdorff dimension. Our methods generalize easily to the case of vectors in F1 ((1/t))d.
