Abstract: Khinchin proved that the arithmetic mean of continued fraction digits of Lebesgue almost every irrational number in $(0,1)$ diverges to infinity. Hence, none of the classical limit theorems such as the weak and strong laws of large numbers or central limit theorems hold. Nevertheless, we prove the existence of a large deviations rate function which estimates exponential probabilities with which the arithmetic mean of digits stays away from infinity.

Review text

For each irrational number \(x\in(0,1)\) there exists the following expression by continued fraction \[ x=\frac{1}{a_1+\frac{1}{a_2+\ldots}}, \] where each \(a_i=a_i(x)\) is a positive integer. The author of the paper consider the limiting behaviour (\(n\rightarrow\infty\)) of quantities \[ \log \lambda\left\{x\in(0,1)\setminus\mathbb{Q}: \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\psi(a_i(x))\le \alpha\right\}, \] \[ \log \lambda\left\{x\in(0,1)\setminus\mathbb{Q}: \frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^n\psi(a_i(x))\ge \alpha\right\}, \] where \(\lambda\) denotes the restriction of the Lebesgue measure on interval \((0,1)\), and function \(\psi:\mathbb{N}\setminus\{0\}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) satisfies two conditions: \(\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\psi(n)=\infty\) and \(\int\psi(a_1(x))\mathrm{d} x=\infty\).
