ABSTRACT This paper goes back to a famous problem of Mahler in metrical Diophantine approximation. The problem has been settled by Sprindzuk and subsequently improved by Alan Baker and Vasili Bernik. In particular, Bernik's result establishes a convergence Khintchine type theorem for Diophantine approximation by polynomials, that is it allows arbitrary monotonic error of approximation. In the present paper the monotonicity assumption is completely removed.

ABSTRACT: Let n∈ℕ, n≥2, let d∈ℝ and let ψ:ℝ + →ℝ + be some function. The authors consider the set of real numbers x for which there are infinitely many integer polynomials P with degP≤n such that |P(x)-d|<ψ(H(P)), where H(P) denotes the maximum absolute value among the coefficients of P. It is shown that is the series ∑ h=1 ∞ h n-1 ψ(h) converges, then this set is a null set with respect to the Lebesgue measure. This strengthens and extends a result of [V. I. Bernik, Acta Arith. 53, No. 1, 17–28 (1989; Zbl 0692.10042)], who proved this to be true for d∈ℚ on the additional assumption that ψ is monotonic. The latter assumption is removed in the paper under review.
