The winning criterion for the ternary badly approximable set

About 2 years old · traced to

Let α,β\alpha,\beta be Schmidt-game parameters, and let γA\gamma_A and γB\gamma_B denote the auxiliary constants associated with Alice's and Bob's moves. Let 3-BA⁡~(1/6)\widetilde{\operatorname{3-BA}}(1/6) denote the modified ternary badly approximable set with parameter 1/61/6. The winning criterion. If

βγA≥γB,\beta\gamma_A \geq \gamma_B,

then the set 3-BA⁡~(1/6)\widetilde{\operatorname{3-BA}}(1/6) is (α,β)(\alpha,\beta)-winning; if not, then it is (α,β)(\alpha,\beta)-losing. This gives a sharp dichotomy for the stated ternary Schmidt-game set according to the comparison of the auxiliary move parameters. The supplied text does not state any resolution beyond the assertion itself.
