Explicit continued fractions with expected partial quotient growth

From MaRDI portal





For \(0< x< 1\), let \([0, \alpha_1(x), \alpha_2(x),\dots]\) be the continued fraction expansion of \(x\), and put \(L_N(x)= \max_{1\leq n\leq N} a_n(x)\). A result of \textit{W. Philipp} [Acta Arith. 28, 379--386 (1976; Zbl 0332.10033)] says that \(\liminf_{N\to \infty} \frac 1N\cdot L_N(x)\cdot \log\log N= \frac{1}{\log 2}\) holds for almost all \(x\). The author gives a sufficient criterion for and examples of numbers \(x\) which satisfy this relation.
