Abstract

Let ψ : N → [0, ∞) be an approximation function with
∑∞_{q=0} ψ(q) = ∞ and the property that there exists δ > 0 such that
ψ(q) ≥ δ ψ(s) for all q ∈ N and all s ∈ {q, q + 1, ..., 2q}. Then the set

{ x ∈ (0,1] : |x − p/q| < ψ(q)/q for infinitely many reduced rationals p/q } has Lebesgue measure one.


Keywords

Khintchine theorem, Borel–Cantelli lemma, approximation function, Euler’s φ function, Dawson–Sankoff inequality, Lebesgue measure, Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture.
