ON LÜROTH EXPANSIONS IN WHICH THE LARGEST DIGIT GROWS WITH SLOWLY INCREASING SPEED

Abstract

AbstractLet $0\leq \alpha \leq \infty $ , $0\leq a\leq b\leq \infty $ and $\psi $ be a positive function defined on $(0,\infty )$ . This paper is concerned with the growth of $L_{n}(x)$ , the largest digit of the first n terms in the Lüroth expansion of $x\in (0,1]$ . Under some suitable assumptions on the function $\psi $ , we completely determine the Hausdorff dimensions of the sets $$\begin{align*}E_\psi(\alpha)=\bigg\{x\in(0,1]: \lim\limits_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\log L_n(x)}{\log\psi(n)}=\alpha\bigg\} \end{align*}$$ and $$\begin{align*}E_\psi(a,b)=\bigg\{x\in(0,1]: \liminf\limits_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\log L_n(x)}{\log\psi(n)}=a, \limsup\limits_{n\rightarrow\infty}\frac{\log L_n(x)}{\log\psi(n)}=b\bigg\}. \end{align*}$$
