Let $0\lt a\lt b\lt 1$ and let $T$ be the doubling map. Set $ \mathcal{J} (a, b): = \{ x\in [0, 1] : {T}^{n} x\not\in (a, b), n\geq 0\} $. In this paper we completely characterize the holes $(a, b)$ for which any of the following scenarios hold: (i) $ \mathcal{J} (a, b)$ contains a point $x\in (0, 1)$; (ii) $ \mathcal{J} (a, b)\cap [\delta , 1- \delta ] $ is infinite for any fixed $\delta \gt 0$; (iii) $ \mathcal{J} (a, b)$ is uncountable of zero Hausdorff dimension; (iv) $ \mathcal{J} (a, b)$ is of positive Hausdorff dimension. In particular, we show that (iv) is always the case if

$$\begin{eqnarray*}b- a\lt \frac{1}{4} { \mathop{\prod }\nolimits}_{n= 1}^{\infty } (1- {2}^{- {2}^{n} } )\approx 0. 175\hspace{0.167em} 092\end{eqnarray*}$$
and that this bound is sharp. As a corollary, we give a full description of first- and second-order critical holes introduced by N. Sidorov [Supercritical holes for the doubling map. Preprint, see http://arxiv.org/abs/1204.1920] for the doubling map. Furthermore, we show that our model yields a continuum of ‘routes to chaos’ via arbitrary sequences of products of natural numbers, thus generalizing the standard route to chaos via period doubling.
