Abstract

Given an integer N ≥ 2 and a real number β > 1, let Γβ,N be the set of all x = Σi=1 dii with di ∈ {0, 1, ⋯, N - 1} for all i ≥ 1. The infinite sequence (di) is called a β-expansion of x . Let Uβ,N be the set of all x's in Γβ,N which have unique β-expansions. We give explicit formula of the Hausdorff dimension of Uβ,N for β in any admissible interval [βL, βU], where βL is a purely Parry number while βU is a transcendental number whose quasi-greedy expansion of 1 is related to the classical Thue-Morse sequence. This allows us to calculate the Hausdorff dimension of Uβ,N for almost every β > 1. In particular, this improves the main results of Gábor Kallós (1999, 2001). Moreover, we find that the dimension function f(β) = dimH UβN fluctuates frequently for β ∈ (1, N).
