A Polynomial Time Algorithm for the Hausdorff Dimension of Continued Fraction Cantor Sets

Abstract: For any finite set A of positive integers, let E A :=[: # (0, 1): : is irrational, and every partial quotient in the (infinite) simple continued fraction expansion of : is an element of A]. For sets A with fewer than two elements, E A is uninteresting. For |A| 2, E A is a kind of Cantor fractal dust, with a Hausdorff dimension (dim E A ) between 0 and 1. This work presents an algorithm which, given a finite set A of between 2 and N positive integers 2 N , determines dim E A to within \2 &N using O(N 7 ) elemen… Show more

“…Bourgain-Kontorovich give A 0 = 50 as an allowable value for A, and this has since been reduced to A 0 = 5 [FK14,Hua15]; furthermore, Hensley [Hen96] has conjectured that A 0 = 2 is allowable, and that the error rate O(e −c √ log N ) can 9 For the application to be immediate, Γ would need to be a Zariski-dense group and not just a semi-group; minor modifications are needed to handle this case.…”

“…These "dynamical" methods have already been used in other domains of algorithmic number theory, mainly in the study of the classical Euclidean algorithm, or related algorithms [Ma2], [Hen1]- [Hen4], [Va1]- [Va3], [DFV]. In particular, the author [FV] uses them to obtain an alternative proof of the results of Heilbronn and Dixon about the logarithmic behavior of the classical Euclidean algorithm.…”
