The Borel-Bernstein theorem for multidimensional continued fractions (Q1604965): Difference between revisions

A classical and central result in the metric theory of regular continued fractions, the Borel-Bernstein theorem provides statistical information on the rate of increase of the partial quotients. In this paper a geometric interpretation of this result is given and, furthermore, it is generalized to multidimensional continued fraction expansions constructed by various types of multidimensional algorithms such as Jacobi-Perron, Poincaré, Brun, Rauzy induction process for interval exchange transformations. An extension of the Borel-Bernstein theorem to so-called recurrent multidimensional continued fraction algorithms is proved.
