Abstract
We study the graph of the function encoding the Hausdorff dimensions of the classical Lagrange and Markov spectra with half-infinite lines of the form . For this sake, we use the fact that the Hausdorff dimension of dynamically Cantor sets drop after erasing an element of its Markov partition to determine twelve nontrivial plateaux of . Next, we employ rigorous numerical methods (from our recent joint paper with Pollicott) to produce approximations of the graph of between these twelve plateaux. As a corollary, we prove that the largest ten non-trivial plateaux of are exactly those plateaux with lengths .
