Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the two-dimensional uniform Diophantine approximation in $\beta$-dynamical systems. Let $\beta_i \gt 1(i=1,2)$ be real numbers, and let $T_{\beta_i}$ denote the $\beta_i$-transformation defined on $[0, 1]$. Motivated by Amou and Bugeaud (Exponents of Diophantine approximation and expansions in integer bases, J. London Math. Soc. 81(2) (2010), 297–316), we consider, for each $(x, y) \in[0,1]^2$ in the plane, its asymptotic approximation exponent

\begin{equation*}v_{\beta_1, \beta_2}(x, y)=\sup \left\{0 \leq v \lt \infty: \begin{array}{l}T_{\beta_1}^n x \lt \beta_1^{-n v} \\T_{\beta_2}^n y \lt \beta_2^{-n v}\end{array} \text {for infinitely many } n \in \mathbb{N}\right\} \text {, }\end{equation*}
and its uniform approximation exponent
\begin{align*}\hat{v}_{\beta_1, \beta_2}(x, y)=\sup\Big\{0 \leq \hat{v} \lt \infty&:\text{for every sufficiently large }N, \\&\text{there exists }1 \leq n \leq N ~\text {such that } T_{\beta_1}^n x \lt \beta_1^{-N \hat{v}},T_{\beta_2}^n y \lt \beta_2^{-N \hat{v}}\Big\}.\end{align*}

We then calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the set

\begin{equation*}\left\{(x, y) \in[0,1]^2: \hat{v}_{\beta_1, \beta_2}(x, y)=\hat{v} \text~ {and }\, v_{\beta_1, \beta_2}(x, y)=v\right\},\end{equation*}
which consists of points that possess both a given asymptotic approximation exponent and a given uniform approximation exponent. As a corollary, we establish a definite formula for the Hausdorff dimension of the level set of the uniform approximation exponent.
