Divergence points with fast growth orders of the partial quotients in continued fractions

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the divergence points with fast growth orders of the partial quotients in continued fractions. Let S be a nonempty interval. We are interested in the size of the set of divergence pointswhere A denotes the collection of accumulation points of a sequence and φ : N → N with φ(n)/n → ∞ as n → ∞. Mainly, it is shown, in the case φ being polynomial or exponential function, that the Hausdor dimension of E φ (S) is a constant. Examples are also given to indicate that the above results cannot be expected for the general case.
