Abstract

Each x(0,1]x\in (0,1] can be uniquely expanded as a power-2-decaying Gauss-like expansion, in the form of \begin{equation*} x=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}2^{-(d_1(x)+d_2(x)+\cdots+d_i(x))},\qquad d_i(x)\in \mathbb{N}. \end{equation*} Let ϕ:NR+\phi:\mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{R}^{+} be an arbitrary positive function. We are interested in the size of the set F(ϕ)={x(0,1]:dn(x)ϕ(n)  for infinity many n}.F(\phi)=\{x\in (0,1]:d_n(x)\ge \phi(n)~~\text{for infinity many}~n\}. We prove a Borel-Bernstein theorem on the zero-one law of the Lebesgue measure of F(ϕ)F(\phi). When the Lebesgue measure of F(ϕ)F(\phi) is zero, we calculate its Hausdorff dimension. Furthermore, we analyse the growth rate of the maximal digit among the first nn digits from probability and multifractal perspectives.
