Abstract

Motivated by recent developments in the metrical theory of continued fractions for real numbers concerning the growth of consecutive partial quotients, we consider its analogue over the field of formal Laurent series. Let An(x)A_n(x) be the nnth partial quotient of the continued fraction expansion of xx in the field of formal Laurent series. We consider the sets of xx such that degAn+1(x)++degAn+k(x)  Φ(n)\deg A_{n+1}(x)+\cdots+\deg A_{n+k}(x)~\ge~\Phi(n) holds for infinitely many nn and for all nn respectively, where k1k\ge1 is an integer and Φ(n)\Phi(n) is a positive function defined on N\mathbb{N}. We determine the size of these sets in terms of Haar measure and Hausdorff dimension.
