Distribution of frequencies of digits via multifractal analysis

Barreira, L ; Saussol, B and Schmeling, Jörg LU (2002) In Journal of Number Theory 97(2). p.410-438
Abstract
We study the Hausdorff dimension of a large class of sets in the real line defined in terms of the distribution of frequencies of digits for the representation in some integer base. In particular, our results unify and extend classical work of Borel, Besicovitch, Eggleston, and Billingsley in several directions. Our methods are based on recent results concerning the multifractal analysis of dynamical systems and often allow us to obtain explicit expressions for the Hausdorff dimension. This work is still another illustration of the role that the theory of dynamical systems can play in number theory.
