Abstract

I. J. Good (1941) showed that the set of irrational numbers in (0,1)(0,1) whose partial quotients ana_n tend to infinity is of Hausdorff dimension 1/21/2. A number of related results impose restrictions of the type anBa_n\in B or anf(n)a_n\geq f(n), where BB is an infinite subset of N\mathbb N and ff is a rapidly growing function with nn. We show that, for an arbitrary BB and an arbitrary ff with values in [minB,)[\min B,\infty) and tending to infinity, the set of irrational numbers in (0,1)(0,1) such that anB, anf(n) for all nN, and an as n a_n\in B,\ a_n\leq f(n)\text{ for all $n\in\mathbb N$, and }a_n\to\infty\text{ as }n\to\infty is of Hausdorff dimension τ(B)/2,\tau(B)/2, where τ(B)\tau(B) is the exponent of convergence of BB.
