The winning property of mixed badly approximable numbers

Abstract

For any pair of real numbers $(i,j)$ with $0<i,j<1$ and $i+j=1$, we prove that the set of $p$-adic mixed $(i,j)$-badly approximable numbers $\bad_p(i, j)$ is 1/2-winning in the sense of Schmidt's game. This improves a recent result of Badziahin, Levesley, and Velani on mixed Schmidt conjecture.
