Rational approximation with chosen numerators
Abstract
We consider the problem of approaching real numbers with rational numbers with prime denominator and with a single numerator allowed for each denominator. We obtain basic results, both probabilistic and deterministic, draw connections to twisted diophantine approximation, and present a simple application, related to possible correlations between trace functions and dynamical sequences.
