A Gauss-Kuzmin theorem and related questions for \(\theta \)-expansions (Q2443830)

The subject of this article is the representation of real number by means of the continued fraction expansion in terms of an irrational number \(\theta \in (0,1)\). Let \(\theta\) be a fixed irrational number in \((0,1)\). Let \(x:=[a_0\theta;a_1\theta,\dots,a_n\theta]\) be the finite continued fraction expansion and \(x:=[a_0\theta;a_1\theta,\dots]\) the infinite continued fraction expansion of \(x\) with respect to \(\theta\). This continued fraction is treated as the following dynamical system \(([0,\theta],\mathcal{B}_{[0,\theta]},\gamma_\theta,T_\theta)\), where \(\mathcal{B}_{[0,\theta]}\) denotes the \(\sigma\)-algebra of all Borel subset of \([0,\theta]\), \(\gamma_\theta\) is probability measure on \(([0,\theta],\mathcal{B}_{[0,\theta]})\): \[ \gamma_\theta:=\frac{1}{\log(1+\theta^2)}\int_A \frac{\theta dx}{1+\theta x}, \qquad A\in \mathcal{B}_{[0,\theta]}, \] and \(T_{\theta}\) is the transformation \[ T_\theta(x):=\begin{cases} \frac{1}{x}-\theta \left\lfloor\frac{1}{x\theta} \right\rfloor, & \text{if } x \in (0,\theta), \\ 0, & \text{if } x=0. \end{cases} \] A Gauss-Kuzmin-type theorem is the main result of this paper.
