Convergence results for Oppenheim expansions (Q1795164)

In [Acta Arith. 21, 391--398 (1972; Zbl 0258.10003)], \textit{A. Oppenheim} studied series expansions generalizing the classical Lüroth, Engel and Sylvester series expansions. More recently, \textit{A. Fan} et al. introduced in [J. Number Theory 127, No. 1, 64--82 (2007; Zbl 1210.11086)] the Oppenheim continued fraction expansions, generalizations of the classical Engel and Sylvester continued fractions ones. \par In this paper, the author proves some convergence in probability results for Oppenheim series expansions and Oppenheim continued fractions expansions. These are obtained as consequences of a more general theorem having both kinds of expansion as particular cases.
