Abstract
We construct families of groups containing finitely presented groups whose divergence functions are of the form for a dense set of exponents and for integers . The same construction also yields examples of groups containing contracting elements which are not contracting in certain finitely presented subgroups.

39 pages, 6 figures, and 1 table. The proof of the main divergence theorem in this paper is similar in outline to that in arXiv:2002.03653 but there are significant technical differences
