Abstract

I. J. Good (1941) showed that the set of irrational numbers in (0,1) whose partial quotients an tend to infinity is of Hausdorff dimension 1/2. A number of related results impose restrictions of the type an∈ B or an≥ f(n), where B is an infinite subset of \mathbb N and f is a rapidly growing function with n. We show that, for an arbitrary B and an arbitrary f with values in [min B,∞) and tending to infinity, the set of irrational numbers in (0,1) such that an∈ B, an≤ f(n) for all n∈\mathbb N, and an→∞ as n→∞ is of Hausdorff dimension τ(B)/2, where τ(B) is the exponent of convergence of B.
