Abstract: New results towards the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture, which is a fundamental unsolved problem in metric number theory, have been established recently assuming extra divergence. Given a non-negative function $psi:mathbbNomathbbR$ we denote by $W(psi)$ the set of all $xinmathbbR$ such that $|nx-a|<psi(n)$ for infinitely many $a,n$. Analogously, denote $W^{\prime }(psi)$ if we additionally require $a,n$ to be coprime. Aistleitner et al. [1] proved that $W^{\prime }(psi)$ is of full Lebesgue measure if there exist an $varepsilon>0$ such that $su{m}_{n=2}^{i}nftypsi(n)varphi(n)/(n(logn{)}^{v}arepsilon)=infty$. This result seems to be the best one can expect from the method used. Assuming the extra divergence $su{m}_{n=2}^{i}nftypsi(n)/(logn{)}^{v}arepsilon=infty$ we prove that $W(psi)$ is of full measure. This could also be deduced from the result in [1], but we believe that our proof is of independent interest, since its method is totally different from the one in [1]. As a further application of our method, we prove that a variant of Khintchine's theorem is true without monotonicity, subject to an additional condition on the set of divisors of the support of $psi$.
