Summary: Let $\mathcal {F}$ be a countable collection of functions $f$ defined on integers, with integer values, such that for every $f\in \mathcal {F}$, $f(n)\to \infty $ as $n\to \infty $. This paper primarily investigates the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points whose digit sequences of the Engel expansion are strictly increasing and contain every finite pattern of $\mathcal {F}$, with applications demonstrated through representative examples. (English)
