Abstract

For a non-increasing function Ψ, let Exact(Ψ) be the set of real numbers that are approximable by rational numbers to order Ψ, but to no or- der cΨ with 0 < c < 1. In a previous paper, we determined the Hausdorff dimension of the set Exact(Ψ) when x→ x2Ψ(x) is non-increasing and the sumxΨ(x) converges. In the present note we complement this result by estab- x≥1 lishing that Exact(Ψ) has full Hausdorff dimension for a large class of functions Ψthat do not decrease too slowly and are such that the sum xΨ(x) diverges. x≥1 Furthermore, we discuss the case where x→ x2Ψ(x) is a constant function.


Keywords

Diophantine approximation, Hausdorff dimension, continued fraction, Lagrange.
