Abstract

Bescovitch considered the Hausdorff dimensions of sets related to the sum of digits of real numbers represented in the dyadic expansions. In this paper, we provide an analogy for continued fraction expansions over the field of formal Laurent series. We also calculate the Hausdorff dimensions of sets of Laurent series which have given polynomial or exponential approximation orders. Such approximations converge faster than those of almost all Laurent series (with respect to the Haar measure).
