Let f n 1 be an infinite iterated function system on [0,1] satisfying the open set condition with the open set (0,1) and let Λ be its attractor. Then to any x ∈ Λ (except at most countably many points) corresponds a unique sequence a ( x ) n 1 of integers, called the digit sequence of x, such that x = l i m n f a ( x ) f a ( x ) ( 1 ) . We investigate the growth speed of the digits in a general infinite iterated function system. More precisely, we determine the dimension of the set x Λ : a ( x ) B ( n 1 ) , l i m n a ( x ) = for any infinite subset B ⊂ ℕ, a question posed by Hirst for continued fractions. Also we generalize Łuczak’s work on the dimension of the set x ∈ Λ: a ( x ) a b for infinitely many n ∈ ℕ with a,b > 1. We will see that the dimension of the sets above is tightly connected with the convergence exponent of the contraction ratios of the sequence f n 1 .

We investigate the growth speed of the digits in a general infinite iterated function system. More precisely, we determine the dimension of the set $\{x ∈ Λ: aₙ(x) ∈ B (∀ n ≥ 1), lim_\{n→∞\} aₙ(x) = ∞\}$ for any infinite subset B ⊂ ℕ, a question posed by Hirst for continued fractions. Also we generalize Łuczak’s work on the dimension of the set x ∈ Λ: $aₙ(x) ≥ a^\{bⁿ\}$ for infinitely many n ∈ ℕ with a,b > 1.

AB - Let ${fₙ}_{n≥1}$ be an infinite iterated function system on [0,1] satisfying the open set condition with the open set (0,1) and let Λ be its attractor. Then to any x ∈ Λ (except at most countably many points) corresponds a unique sequence ${aₙ(x)}_{n≥1}$ of integers, called the digit sequence of x, such that $x = lim_{n→∞} f_{a₁(x)}∘ ⋯ ∘ f_{aₙ(x)}(1)$. We investigate the growth speed of the digits in a general infinite iterated function system. More precisely, we determine the dimension of the set ${x ∈ Λ: aₙ(x) ∈ B (∀ n ≥ 1), lim_{n→∞} aₙ(x) = ∞}$ for any infinite subset B ⊂ ℕ, a question posed by Hirst for continued fractions. Also we generalize Łuczak’s work on the dimension of the set x ∈ Λ: $aₙ(x) ≥ a^{bⁿ}$ for infinitely many n ∈ ℕ with a,b > 1. We will see that the dimension of the sets above is tightly connected with the convergence exponent of the contraction ratios of the sequence ${fₙ}_{n≥1}$.
