Weak Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture with a moving target

Let ρ:N[0,\a0)\rho: \mathbb N\to[0,\a0\infty) be an arbitrary function satisfying

qN(φ(q)ρ(q)q)2=,\sum_{q\in\mathbb N}\left(\frac{\varphi(q)\rho(q)}{q}\right)^2=\infty,

and let y=(yq)qN\mathbf y=(\mathbf y_q)_{q\in\mathbb N} be an arbitrary sequence in R2\mathbb R^2. Write W2(y,ρ)W_2'(\mathbf y,\rho) for the set of x[0,1]2\mathbf x\in[0,1]^2 satisfying the corresponding infinitely-often inhomogeneous approximation inequalities with coordinatewise coprimality, and let λ2\lambda_2 denote Lebesgue measure.

Weak Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture with a moving target. For every such ρ\rho and y\mathbf y,

λ2(W2(y,ρ))=1.\lambda_2\left(W_2'(\mathbf y,\rho)\right)=1.

This is the conjectured two-dimensional moving-target analogue of the inhomogeneous Duffin–Schaeffer theorem. The paper presents it as open; a preceding counterexample for a moving target does not disprove this weak formulation.
