Review text

The P-fraction expansion of a formal power series \(L(x):=\sum_{i=1}^\infty a_ix^{-i}\) is a continued fraction expansion of \(L(x)\) of the form \(K(1/p_n(x))\) where \(p_n\) are polynomials. The coefficients \(\underline{a}=\{a_1,a_2,a_3,\dots\}\) are supposed to form a pseudorandom sequence \(\in\mathbb F_r^\infty\). The set of all \(L(x)\) with \(\underline{a}\in\mathbb F_q^{\infty}\) is identified with \(\mathbb F_q^\infty\). In his dissertation the author gave the Hausdorff dimension of the subset \(A^q(d,1)\) of power series \(L\) for which all \(p_n\) are of bounded degree \(\leq d\) as a subset of \(\mathbb F_q^\infty\). In the present paper he considers the subset \(A^q(d,2)\subseteq A^q(d,1)\) where also the shifted power series \(L_1(x):=\sum_{i=1}^\infty a_{i+1}x^{-i}\) have P-fraction expansions with polynomials of degree \(\leq d\), and he determines the Hausdorff dimension of \(A^q(d,2)\) as a subset of \(\mathbb F_q^\infty\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 1050.39001].
