A function \(f:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{N}\) is \textit{prime-representing} if \(f(k)\) is a prime for all \(k\in \mathbb{N}\).\par Suppose that \(c_i\ge 2\), \(i=1,2,\ldots\), and put \(C_n=c_1c_2\cdots c_n\). \textit{Kaisa Matomäki} showed in [Acta Math. Hung. 128, No. 4, 307--314 (2010; Zbl 1240.11101)] that the set of \(A>2\) such that \(f_A=\lfloor A^{C_n}\rfloor\) is prime-representing is \par -- uncountable, \par -- nowhere dense, \par -- and has Lebesgue measure \(0\). Here the author proves that this set of \(A\) has Hausdorff dimension \(1\) if \((c_k)_{k\in \mathbb{N}}\) is bounded. Note that, on the one hand, Hausdorff dimension \(1\) is stronger than uncountable, on the other hand, the boundedness of \((c_k)_{k\in \mathbb{N}}\) is needed in the proof.
