To derive this information, a complete metric theory for a related fully nonlinear Diophantine approximation problem involving perfect squares is established.20 pagesAnalysis of PDEsNumber Theory35L05 (Primary); 11J83, 11J13, 11K60 (Secondary)Diophantine approximation with perfect squares and the solvability of an inhomogeneous wave equationtext
