Abstract

For any β>1\beta > 1, denoted by rn(x,β)r_n(x,\beta) the maximal length of consecutive zeros amongst the first nn digits of the β\beta-expansion of x[0,1]x\in[0,1]. The limit superior (respectively limit inferior) of rn(x,β)n\frac{r_n(x,\beta)}{n} is linked to the classical Diophantine approximation (respectively uniform Diophantine approximation). We obtain the Hausdorff dimension of the level set Ea,b={x[0,1]:lim infnrn(x,β)n=a, lim supnrn(x,β)n=b} (0ab1).E_{a,b}=\left\{x \in [0,1]: \liminf_{n\rightarrow \infty}\frac{r_n(x,\beta)}{n}=a,\ \limsup_{n\rightarrow \infty}\frac{r_n(x,\beta)}{n}=b\right\}\ (0\leq a\leq b\leq1). Furthermore, we show that the extremely divergent set E0,1E_{0,1} which is of zero Hausdorff dimension is, however, residual. The same problems in the parameter space are also examined.
