A Wirsing-type approach to some continued fraction expansion (Q2575996)

\textit{H.-C. Chan} [Int. J. Math. Math. Sci. 2004, No. 20, 1067--1076 (2004; Zbl 1122.11046)] introduced a continued fraction expansion different from the regular continued fraction expansion, gave a solution to its Gauss-Kuzmin-Lévy problem, and showed a convergence rate. In this paper the author gives a better estimation of its convergence rate by using an approach seen in [Acta Arith. 24, 507--528 (1974; Zbl 0283.10032)]. The author's strategy is to derive the Perron-Frobenius operator of the associated transformation under its invariant measure. Then the author obtains upper and lower bounds of the convergence rate, providing a near-optimal solution to the Gauss-Kuzmin-Lévy problem.
