Bugeaud–Durand dimension conjecture for rationally approximable points in the Cantor set
Bugeaud–Durand dimension conjecture for rationally approximable points in the Cantor set
Let be the middle-third Cantor set and let denote the set of real numbers satisfying the relevant Diophantine approximation condition with exponent . Then
Bugeaud–Durand conjecture.
Bugeaud and Durand had established an almost-everywhere upper bound for translates of the middle-third Cantor set. The supplied source does not resolve whether this exact formula holds, so the conjecture remains open.
