Abstract: | If a 1,a 2,a 3,… are nonnegative real numbers and $f_{j}(x) = sqrt{a_{j}+x}$ , then lim n→∞ f 1°f 2°?°f n (0) is a continued radical with terms a 1,a 2,a 3,…. The set of real numbers representable as a continued radical whose terms a i are all from a set S={a,b} of two natural numbers is a Cantor set. We investigate the thickness, measure, and sums of such Cantor sets. |
