Inhomogeneous Duffin–Schaeffer theorem

Let δR\delta\in\mathbb R, and let Φ:NR0\Phi:\mathbb N\to\mathbb R_{\geqslant 0} satisfy the two conditions denoted by

andand

in the source. Inhomogeneous Duffin–Schaeffer theorem. Then for almost all βR\beta\in\mathbb R, there exist infinitely many nNn\in\mathbb N such that

nβδ<Φ(n).\\|n\beta-\delta\\|<\Phi(n).

The source identifies this as an open conjectural inhomogeneous analogue; it notes that the additional assumption may not be necessary and that even an analogue of Gallagher’s zero-full law is unavailable.
