Lower bound on the Hausdorff dimension of a set of complex continued fractions.

Let J be the set of all infinite complex continued fractions with partial numerators equal to one and partial denominators b 1 , b 2 , … , where each b k is a complex number of the form m + n i with m being a positive integer and n being any integer. In this paper we give an algorithm to determine lower bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of J . We show that the Hausdorff dimension of J is greater than 1.825, which is the best known lower bound, to the best of our knowledge. The ideas used to obtain this improved bound is different from those used by other authors and could be applied to estimate Hausdorff dimensions of other sets as well. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
