Abstract

For an irrational number x[0,1)x\in [0,1), let x=[a_1(x),a_2(x),]x=[a\_1(x), a\_2(x),\cdots] be its continued fraction expansion. Let ψ:NN\psi : \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N} be a function with ψ(n)/n\psi(n)/n\to \infty as nn\to\infty. The (upper, lower) fast Khintchine spectrum for ψ\psi is defined as the Hausdorff dimension of the set of numbers x(0,1)x\in (0,1) for which the (upper, lower) limit of 1ψ(n)_j=1nloga_j(x)\frac{1}{\psi(n)}\sum\_{j=1}^n\log a\_j(x) is equal to 11. The fast Khintchine spectrum was determined by Fan, Liao, Wang, and Wu. We calculate the upper and lower fast Khintchine spectra. These three spectra can be different.
