Beside this property, the series may diverge at some point, without exceeding $O(n^{1/p})$. We define the divergence index at $x$ as the infimum of the positive real numbers $\\beta$ such that $S_nf(x)=O(n^\\beta)$ and we are interested in the size of the exceptional sets $E_\\beta$, namely the sets of $x\\in\\mathbb T$ with divergence index equal to $\\beta$. We show that quasi-all functions in $L^p(\\TT)$ have a multifractal behavior with respect to this definition. Precisely, for quasi-all functions in $L^p(\\mathbb T)$, for all $\\beta\\in[0,1/p]$, $E_\\beta$ has Hausdorff dimension equal to $1-\\beta p$. We also investigate the same problem in $\\mathcal C(\\mathbb T)$, replacing polynomial divergence by logarithmic divergence. In this context, the results that we get on the size of the exceptional sets are rather surprizing.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-03-15T20:37:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fourier series", "multifractal analysis", "exceptional sets", "quasi-all functions", "divergence index equal" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1103.3027B" } } }
