Optimal continued fractions and the moving average ergodic theorem

From MaRDI portal





The purpose of this paper is to study the metrical theory of the optimal continued fraction expansion, introduced in \textit{W. Bosma} [Indag. Math. 49, 353--379 (1987; Zbl 0638.10034)] using the moving average ergodic theorem of \textit{A. Bellow, R. Jones} and \textit{J. Rosenblatt} [Ergodic Theory Dyn.\ Syst. 10, No. 1, 43--62 (1990; Zbl 0674.60035)]. The authors obtain new results on the distribution of the sequence \(\{\psi_n(x)\}_{n\geq 0}\) for almost all \(x\) with respect to Lebesgue measure in the case of the optimal continued fraction expansion, where \(p_n/q_n\) is the \(n\)th convergent of the semi-regular continued fraction expansion of a real number \(x\) and \(\psi_n(x)=q_n^2| x-p_n/q_n| \).
