We address the problem of determining the Hausdorff dimension of sets consisting of complex irrationals whose complex continued fraction digits satisfy prescribed restrictions and growth conditions. For the Hurwitz continued fraction, we…
We develop the geometry of Hurwitz continued fractions, a major tool in understanding the approximation properties of complex numbers by ratios of Gaussian integers. Based on a thorough study of the geometric properties of Hurwitz continued…
Zero-one laws are a central topic in metric Diophantine approximation. A classical example of such laws is the Borel-Bernstein theorem. In this note, we prove a complex analogue of the Borel-Bernstein theorem for complex Hurwitz continued…
We establish a central limit theorem for counting large continued fraction digits $(a_n)$, i.e. we count occurrences $\{a_n>b_n\}$, where $(b_n)$ is a sequence of positive integers. Our result improves a similar result by Philipp which…
We study the generalized continued fraction expansions of complex numbers in term of elements from Euclidean subrings, especially Gaussian or Eisenstein integers, in a general framework as pursued in [3] and [1]. We introduce a common…
We prove a quantitative distortion theorem for iterated function systems that generate sets of continued fractions. As a consequence, we obtain upper and lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of any set of real or complex continued…
Good's Theorem for regular continued fraction states that the set of real numbers $[a_0;a_1,a_2,\ldots]$ such that $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty} a_n=\infty$ has Hausdorff dimension $\tfrac{1}{2}$. We show an analogous result for the…
Let $[a_1(x),a_2(x), a_3(x),\cdots]$ denote the continued fraction expansion of a real number $x \in [0,1)$. This paper is concerned with certain exceptional sets of the Borel-Bernstein Theorem on the growth rate of $\{a_n(x)\}_{n\geq1}$.…
We recall the notion of nearest integer continued fractions over the Euclidean imaginary quadratic fields $K$ and characterize the "badly approximable" numbers, ($z$ such that there is a $C(z)>0$ with $|z-p/q|\geq C/|q|^2$ for all $p/q\in…
The objective of this paper is to show (a)=(b)=(c) as rational functions of $T$, $U$ for (a), (b), (c) given by (a) continued fractions of length $2^{n+1}-1$ with explicit partial denominators in $\left\{-T,U^{-1}T\right\}$, (b) truncated…
For an infinite iterated function system $\mathbf{f}$ on $[0,1]$ with an attractor $\Lambda(\mathbf{f})$ and for an infinite subset $D\subseteq \mathbb{N}$, consider the set \[ \mathbb E(\mathbf{f},D)= \{ x \in \Lambda(\mathbf{f}):…
We study the topological, dynamical, and descriptive set theoretic properties of Hurwitz continued fractions. Hurwitz continued fractions associate an infinite sequence of Gaussian integers to every complex number which is not a Gaussian…
We show that whenever a separable subset $S$ of a complete metric space $X$ admits a $d$-dimensional weak tangent field, the set $S$ is close to being $d$-dimensional in the following sense. Whenever $\mu$ is a Borel finite measure on $X$…
We prove a structure theorem for any $n$-rectifiable set $E\subset \mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, $n\ge 1$, satisfying a weak version of the lower ADR condition, and having locally finite $H^n$ ($n$-dimensional Hausdorff) measure. Namely, that…
In this work we show that an $n$-dimensional Borel set in Euclidean $N$-space with finite integral Menger curvature is $n$-rectifiable, meaning that it can be covered by countably many images of Lipschitz continuous functions up to a null…
We prove a version of the Erd\H{o}s--Beck Theorem from discrete geometry for fractal sets in all dimensions. More precisely, let $X\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ Borel and $k \in [0, n-1]$ be an integer. Let $\dim (X \setminus H) = \dim X$ for every…
We show that for families of measures on Euclidean space which satisfy an ergodic-theoretic form of "self-similarity" under the operation of re-scaling, the dimension of linear images of the measure behaves in a semi-continuous way. We…
The Hurwitz complex continued fraction is a generalization of the nearest integer continued fraction. In this paper we prove various results concerning extremes of the modulus of Hurwitz complex continued fraction digits. This includes a…
We prove an explicit formula for infinitely many convergents of Hurwitzian continued fractions that repeat several copies of the same constant and elements of one arithmetic progression, in a quasi-periodic fashion. The proof involves…
Let $\frak E$ denote be the ring of Eisenstein integers. Let $z\in \mathbb C$ and $p_n,q_n \in \frak E$ be such that $\{p_n/q_n\}$ is the sequence of convergents corresponding to the continued fraction expansion of $z$ with respect to the…
