Uniform Diophantine approximation and run-length function in continued fractions

Abstract We study the multifractal properties of the uniform approximation exponent and asymptotic approximation exponent in continued fractions. As a corollary, we calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the uniform Diophantine set $$ \begin{align*} {\mathcal{U}(\hat{\nu})}= &\ \{x\in[0,1)\colon \text{for all }N\gg1,\text{ there exists }n\in[1,N],\\&\ \ \text{ such that }|T^{n}(x)-y| < |I_{N}(y)|^{\hat{\nu}}\} \end{align*} $$ for a class of quadratic irrational numbers $y\in [0,1)$ . These results contribute to the study of the uniform Diophantine approximation, and apply to investigating the multifractal properties of run-length function in continued fractions.
