Metric Diophantine approximation on fractals

Abstract

Inspired by a problem proposed by Mahler, we will address the following related question, 'How well can irrationals in a missing digit set be approximated by rationals with polynomial denominators?' and prove some related results. To achieve this, we will be closely looking at Khintchine's theorem, particularly the convergence case and aim to prove a Khintchine-like convergence theorem for missing digit sets with large bases and rationals with polynomial denominators.
