On the distribution of the digits in Lüroth expansions (Q2113623)

The present paper is devoted to the Hausdorff dimension of certain sets whose elements defined in terms of Lüroth series expansions. Let \(x \in [0, 1)\) and \(\beta \in[0,1]\), let \([d_1(x), d_2(x), \dots]\) be its Lüroth expansion, and let \(\{p_n(x) /q_n (x)\}_{n \geq 1}\) be the sequence of convergents of \(x\). The main attention is given to the exceptional set \[ F_{\alpha}^{\beta} = \left\{x\in [0,1): \underset{n\to \infty}{\lim \operatorname{inf}} \frac{\log{d}_{n+1}(x)}{-\log \left|x-\frac{p_n(x)}{q_n(x)}\right|}=\alpha, \; \underset{n\to \infty}{\lim\sup} \frac{\log{d}_{n+1}(x)}{-\log \left|x-\frac{p_n(x)}{q_n(x)}\right|}\geq \beta \right\}. \] It is proven that its Hausdorff dimension is \((1 - \beta)/2\) or \(1 - \beta\) according to \(\alpha > 0\) or \(\alpha = 0\). It is noted that properties of digits is a fundamental and important problem in the study of Lüroth expansions. Brief descriptions of such investigations, of the main auxiliary notions, and of properties of the Lüroth expansion, are given.
