Abstract

Let [a1(x),a2(x),…,an(x),…] be the continued fraction expansion of an irrational x ∈ (0, 1). For any n ≥ 1, write Tn(x) =max1≤k≤n{ak(x)}. This paper is concerned with the Hausdorff dimension of the set E(ψ) := x ∈ (0, 1) :limn→∞Tn(x) ψ(n) = 1 , where ψ : ℕ → ℠+ is a function such that ψ(n) →∞ as n →∞. We calculate the Hausdorff dimension of E(ψ) for a very large class of functions with certain growth rates, which improves the existing results of Wu and Xu (2009), Liao and Rams (2016) and Chang and Chen (2018).
