This generalises previous results for analytic non-degenerate curves. Furthermore, the main results are also proved in the inhomogeneous setting. Applications of the main theorem include the Khintchine-Jarn\\'ik type theorem for divergence for arbitrary non-degenerate curve in $\\mathbb{R}^n$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-09-17T12:37:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11J83", "11J13", "11K60", "11K55" ], "keywords": [ "rational points", "divergence theory", "diophantine approximation", "arbitrary non-degenerate curve", "distribution" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 28, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
