Abstract

Let [a1(x),a2(x),a3(x),][a_1(x),a_2(x), a_3(x),\cdots] denote the continued fraction expansion of a real number x[0,1)x \in [0,1). This paper is concerned with certain exceptional sets of the Borel-Bernstein Theorem on the growth rate of {an(x)}n1\{a_n(x)\}_{n\geq1}. As a main result, the Hausdorff dimension of the set Esup(ψ)={x[0,1): lim supnlogan(x)ψ(n)=1} E_{\sup}(\psi)=\left\{x\in[0,1):\ \limsup\limits_{n\to\infty}\frac{\log a_n(x)}{\psi(n)}=1\right\} is determined, where ψ:NR+\psi:\mathbb{N}\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^+ tends to infinity as nn\to\infty.
