Abstract

Let \(T_{k}\) be the expanding map of [0, 1) defined by \(T_{k}(x) = k x\ \text {mod 1}\), where \(k\ge 2\) is an integer. Given \(0\le a<b\le 1\), let \({\mathcal {W}}_{k}(a,b)=\{x\in [0,1)\ \vert \ T_{k}^nx\notin (a,b), \text { for all } n\ge 0\}\) be the maximal T-invariant subset of \([0,1){\setminus } (a,b)\). We examine the Hausdorff dimension of \({\mathcal {W}}_{k}(a,b)\) as a and b vary.
