Abstract

For any x ∈ (0, 1], let the series [sum ]n=1 1/dn(x) be the Sylvester expansion of x. Galambos has shown that the Lebesgue measure of the set

[formula here]

is 1 when α = e, the base of the natural logarithm. This paper provides a proof that for any α [ges ] 1, A(α) has Hausdorff dimension 1 when α ≠ e.
