Abstract:

For each real number $x \in (0,1)$, let $[a_1(x),a_2(x),\cdots , a_n(x),\cdots ]$ denote its continued fraction expansion. We study the convergence exponent defined by

$\tau(x):= \inf\Big\{s \geq 0: \sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}\big(a_n(x)a_{n+1}(x)\big)^{-s}<\infty\Big\},$

which reflects the growth rate of the product of two consecutive partial quotients. As a main result, the Hausdorff dimensions of the level sets of $\tau(x)$ are determined.

Key words: continued fractions, product of partial quotients, Hausdorff dimension
