“…Their influential investigations have led to a blossoming area broadly known as metric Diophantine approximation, with several connections to classical number theoretic questions, as well as more surprising links to mathematical physics, dynamical systems, fractal geometry, analytic combinatorics, computer science, wireless communication, etc. -see [6,7,13,23,27,29,33,44,48,57,62,64,71,81,84] and the references therein for a sampling of such relationships.…”
