Diophantine approximation for conformal measures of one-dimensional iterated function systems

From MaRDI portal





The paper investigates under which conditions the \(h\)-conformal measure of an infinitely generated conformal iterated function system (with limit set of Hausdorff dimension \(h\)) is of ``exponentially fast decay (efd). After having given some sufficient conditions (which are slightly technical, but nevertheless reflect what one would expect), the paper proceeds giving various interesting applications to the theory of continued fractions. One application is that for the set of irrationals whose continued fraction expansions are exclusively chosen from a subset of the positive integers with `bounded gaps' (that is, there exists a constant \(c>0\) such that each element in this set is at most separated by \(c\) from some other element in this set), then the associated conformal measure has the efd-property, and furthermore it is a constant multiple of the packing measure on the limit set of the iterated function system. Contrary to this, in another application it is shown that one can have rapidly growing entry-sets with unbounded gaps for which still the associated conformal measure has the efd-property. It should be mentioned that using a result of B. Weiss (stating that efd implies extremality for a Borel measure in \({\mathbb R}\)), one immediately has that the essential support of an efd Borel measure in \({\mathbb R}\) has empty intersection with the set of very well approximable numbers.
