Abstract: We consider sets of irrational numbers whose partial quotients $a_{sigma,n}$ in the semi-regular continued fraction expansion obey certain restrictions and growth conditions. Our main result asserts that, for any sequence $sigmain{-1,1}^{m}athbbN$ in the expansion, any infinite subset $B$ of $mathbbN$ and for any function $f$ on $mathbbN$ with values in $[minB,infty)$ and tending to infinity, the set of irrationals in $(0,1)$ such that [ a_{sigma,n}in B, a_{sigma,n}leq f(n) ext{ for all $ninmathbbN$ and }a_{sigma,n} oinfty ext{ as }n oinfty] is of Hausdorff dimension $au(B)/2,$ where $au(B)$ is the exponent of convergence of $B$. We also prove that for any $sigmain{-1,1}^{m}athbbN$ and any $BsubsetmathbbN$, the set of irrationals in $(0,1)$ such that [ a_{sigma,n}in B ext{ for all $ninmathbbN$ and }a_{sigma,n} oinfty ext{ as }n oinfty] is also of Hausdorff dimension $au(B)/2$. To prove these results, we construct non-autonomous iterated function systems well-adapted to the given restrictions and growth conditions, and then apply the dimension theory developed by Rempe-Gillen and Urba'nski.
