Abstract: For alpha in the interval [0,1], we consider the one-parameter family of alpha-continued fraction maps, which include the Gauss map (alpha=1) and the nearest integer (alpha=1/2) and by-excess (alpha=0) continued fraction maps. To each of these expansions, and to each choice of a positive function u on the interval I_alpha=(0,max(alpha,1-alpha)) we associate a generalized Brjuno function B_(alpha,u)(x). For alpha=1/2 or alpha=1, and u(x)=-log(x), these functions were introduced by Yoccoz in his work on the linearization of holomorphic maps. Their regularity properties, including BMO regularity and their extension to the complex plane, have been thoroughly investigated. We compare the functions obtained with different values of alpha and we prove that the set of (alpha,u)-Brjuno numbers does not depend on the choice of alpha provided that alpha>0. We then consider the case alpha=0, u(x)=-log(x) and we prove that x is a Brjuno number (for alpha> 0) if and only if both x and -x are Brjuno numbers for alpha=0.

Review text

The Brjuno function \(B:\mathbb{R}\backslash\mathbb{Q}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\bigcup\{\infty\}\) is defined as \[ B(x)=-\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\beta_{n-1}\log x_n , \] where \(\beta_{-1}=1,\,\beta_{n}=x_0\cdots x_n, \,x_{n+1}=\{x_n^{-1}\}\). The set of Brjuno numbers can be characterized as the set where \(B(x)\) is finite. In the paper a generalized Brjuno function \[ B_{\alpha,u}(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\beta_{\alpha,n-1} u(x_{\alpha,n}) \] is introduced, where \(\beta_{\alpha,-1}=1,\,\beta_{\alpha,n}=x_{\alpha,0}\cdots x_{\alpha,n}, \,\) for \(n\geq0,\) and the sequence \(x_{\alpha,n}\) is obtained by iterating the \(\alpha\)-continued function map \[ x_{\alpha,n+1}=A_{\alpha}(x_{\alpha,n}),\, n\geq0, \] where \[ A_{\alpha}(x)=|\frac{1}{x}-\lfloor\frac{1}{x}+1-\alpha\rfloor| \] and \(u(x)\) is a positive \(C^1\) function on \((0,1)\) with a singularity at \(0.\) The authors investigate the relation between the standard Brjuno function \(B_1\) (corresponding to the choice \(\alpha=1,\,\,u(x)=-\log x)\) and the Brjuno function \(B_0\) obtained by replacing the Gauss map with the by-excess continued function map (i.e. \(\alpha=0,\,\,u(x)=-\log x ). \)
