Abstract: We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the following property of an integer $dinmathbbN$ and a pair $(a,A)inmathbb{R}^2$: There exist $kappa>0$ and $Q_{0}inmathbbN$ such that for all $mathbfxinmathbb{R}^d$ and $Qgeq{Q}_0$, there exists $mathbfp/qinmathbb{Q}^d$ such that $1leqqleqQ$ and $|mathbfx-mathbfp/q|leqkappa{q}^{-a}{Q}^{-A}$. This generalizes Dirichlet's theorem, which states that this property holds (with $kappa=Q_0=1$) when $a=1$ and $A=1/d$. We also analyze the set of exceptions in those cases where the statement does not hold, showing that they form a comeager set. This is also true if $mathbb{R}^d$ is replaced by an appropriate "Diophantine space", such as a nonsingular rational quadratic hypersurface which contains rational points. Finally, in the case $d=1$ we describe the set of exceptions in terms of classical Diophantine conditions.
