Poisson approximation for the number of large digits of inhomogeneous \(f\)-expansions (Q1376036)

The author determines the exact rate of Poisson approximation and gives a second-order Poisson-Charlier expansion for the number of excedances of a given level \(L_n\) among the first \(n\) digits of inhomogeneous \(f\)-expansions of real numbers in the unit interval. The application of this general result to homogeneous \(f\)-expansions and, in particular, to regular continued fraction expansions provides not only a generalization, but also a strengthening of a classical Poisson limit theorem due to W. Doeblin.
