Continued fraction normality is not preserved along arithmetic progressions

Abstract: It is well known that if

0. a_{1} a_{2} a_{3} d o t s

is the base-

b

expansion of a number normal to base-

b

, then the numbers

0. a_{k} a_{m + k} a_{2 m + k} d o t s

for

m g e 2

,

k g e 1

are all normal to base-

b

as well. In contrast, given a continued fraction expansion

l a n g l e a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, d o t s a n g l e

that is normal (now with respect to the continued fraction expansion), we show that for any integers

m g e 2

,

k g e 1

, the continued fraction

l a n g l e a_{k}, a_{m + k}, a_{2 m + k}, a_{3 m + k}, d o t s a n g l e

will never be normal.
