Abstract: This paper continues our investigation of Renyi-type continued fractions studied in cite{Sebe&Lascu-2018}. A Wirsing-type approach to the Perron-Frobenius operator of the R'enyi-type continued fraction transformation under its invariant measure allows us to study the optimality of the convergence rate. Actually, we obtain upper and lower bounds of the convergence rate which provide a near-optimal solution to the Gauss-Kuzmin-L'evy problem.


Let \(f^0_N\in C^1([0,1])\) such that \((f^0_N)'>0\) and let \(\mu\) be a probability measure on \(\mathfrak{B}_{[0,1]}\) such that \(\mu \ll \lambda\). Then the authors prove that for any \(n\in\mathbb{N}_+\) and \(x\in [0,1]\) we have \[\left(\log\left(\frac N{N-1}\right)\right)^2\frac N2 \frac{\alpha_N}{\beta_N} \min_{x\in [0,1]} (f^0_N)'(x) \cdot v_N^n G_N(x)(1-G_N(x)) \leq \] \[\vert \mu (R_N^n<x) -G_N(x)\vert \leq \] \[\left(\log\left(\frac N{N-1}\right)\right)^2\frac N2 \frac{\beta_N}{\alpha_N} \min_{x\in [0,1]} (f^0_N)'(x) \cdot w_N^n G_N(x)(1-G_N(x)) \] where \(\alpha_N\), \(\beta_N\), \(v_N\) and \(w_N\) are suitable constants, \[G_N(x)=\frac 1{\log(\frac N{N-1})}\log\left(\frac {x+N-1}{N-1}\right)\] and \(R_N: [0,1]\to [0,1]\) is the shift transformation defined by \(R_N(1)=0\) and \(R_N([a_1,a_2,a_3,\dots]_R)=[a_2,a_3,\dots]_R\) for \(x\not= 1\). The proof is in the spirit of Wirsing.
