Abstract
We study the unweighted error-sum function , where is the th convergent of the continued fraction expansion of . We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the graph of is exactly equal to . Our proof is number-theoretic in nature and involves M\"obius inversion, summation over coprime convergent denominators, and precise upper bounds derived via continued fraction recurrence relations. As a supplementary result, we rederive the known upper bound of for the Hausdorff dimension of the graph of the relative error-sum function .
