Analogous to the question considered by Duffin and Schaeffer for Khintchine's Theorem (which is the case $m = n = 1$), the question arises for which $m,n$ the monotonicity can be safely removed. If $m = n = 1$, it is known that monotonicity is needed. Recently, Allen and Ramirez showed that for $mn \\geq 3$, the monotonicity assumption is unnecessary, conjecturing this to also hold when $mn = 2$. In this article, we confirm this conjecture for the case $(m,n)=(1,2)$ whenever the inhomogeneous parameter is a non-Liouville irrational number. Furthermore, under mild assumptions on the approximation function, we show an asymptotic formula (with almost square-root cancellation), which is not even known for homogeneous approximation. The proof makes use of refined overlap estimates in the 1-dimensional setting, which may have other applications including the inhomogeneous Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-12-04T16:04:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11J20", "11K60", "11J83", "11J71" ], "keywords": [ "quantitative inhomogeneous diophantine approximation", "linear forms", "khintchines theorem", "non-liouville irrational number", "monotonicity" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
