Sets of Exact Approximation Order by Complex rational numbers

Abstract

For a nonincreasing function $\psi$, let $\textrm{Exact}(\psi)$ be the set of complex numbers that are approximable by complex rational numbers to order $\psi$ but to no better order. In this paper, we obtain the Hausdorff dimension and packing dimension of $\textrm{Exact}(\psi)$ when $\psi(x)=o(x^{-2})$. We also prove that the lower bound of the Hausdorff dimension is greater than $2-\tau/(1-2\tau)$ when $\tau=\limsup_{x\to\infty}\psi(x)x^2$ small enough.
