Extract

The notion of fractional dimensions is one which is now well known. The object of the present paper is the investigation of the dimensional numbers of sets of points which, when expressed as continued fractions, obey some simple restriction as to their partial quotients. The sets considered are naturally of linear measure zero. Those properties of the partial quotients which hold for almost all continued fractions make up the subject called by Khintchine ‘the measure theory of continued fractions’.
