Erdős Problem #999 — The Duffin–Schaeffer approximation criterion

About 62 years old · traced to

For nonnegative numbers ψ(q)ψ(q), is divergence of Σq≥1φ(q)ψ(q)/qΣ_{q≥1}φ(q)ψ(q)/q necessary and sufficient for ∣α−p/q∣<ψ(q)/q|α-p/q|<ψ(q)/q to have infinitely many coprime solutions (p,q)(p,q) for almost every αα?
