Abstract

Questions of Haight and of Weizsäcker are answered in the following result. There exists a measurable function f: (0, + ∞) → {0,1} and two non-empty intervals IFI∞⊂[½,1) such that Σ∞n = 1f(nx) = +∞ for everyx εI∞, and Σ∞n = 1f(nx) >+∞ for almost every xεIf. The function f may be taken to be the characteristic function of an open set E.
