Hausdorff Dimension of Growth Rate Level Sets in $\theta$-expansions

We investigate the Hausdorff dimension of level sets defined by digit growth rates in $\theta$-expansions, a generalization of regular continued fractions. For any $\alpha \geq 0$, we prove that the set \[ E_\theta(\alpha) = \left\{ x \in [0, \theta] \setminus \mathbb{Q} : \lim_{n \to {+}\infty} \frac{L_{n,\theta}(x) \log n \log \log n}{S_{n,\theta}(x) - L_{n,\theta}(x)} = \alpha \right\} \] has full Hausdorff dimension. This extends previous work of Zhang and {L\"u} (2016) on regular continued fractions to the broader framework of $\theta$-expansions. The proof involves constructing explicit subsets with controlled digit growth and establishing dimension preservation through H\"older-continuous mappings.

Limit Theorems for $\theta$-expansions and the Failure of the Strong Law

The paper presents fundamental metrical theorems for a class of continued fraction-like expansions known as $\theta$-expansions. We first prove Khinchine's Weak Law of Large Numbers for the sum of digits, followed by the Diamond-Vaaler Strong Law for the sum of digits minus the largest one. Our main result is a general theorem on the failure of the strong law, showing that no regular norming sequence can yield a finite, non-zero almost sure limit. This result extends a classical theorem of Philipp to the $\theta$-expansion setting. The proofs leverage the system's explicit invariant measure and a detailed analysis of its mixing properties.
