A note on the relative growth of products of multiple partial quotients in the plane

Abstract Let $r=[a_1(r), a_2(r),\ldots ]$ be the continued fraction expansion of a real number $r\in \mathbb R$ . The growth properties of the products of consecutive partial quotients are tied up with the set admitting improvements to Dirichlet’s theorem. Let $(t_1, \ldots , t_m)\in \mathbb R_+^m$ , and let $\Psi :\mathbb {N}\rightarrow (1,\infty )$ be a function such that $\Psi (n)\to \infty $ as $n\to \infty $ . We calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the set of all $ (x, y)\in [0,1)^2$ such that $$ \begin{align*} \max\left\{\prod_{i=1}^ma_{n+i}^{t_i}(x), \prod_{i=1}^ma_{n+i}^{t_i}(y)\right\} \geq \Psi(n) \end{align*} $$ is satisfied for all $n\geq 1$ .
