Range-renewal structure in continued fractions

Abstract: Let

o m e g a = [a_{1}, a_{2}, c d o t s]

be the infinite expansion of continued fraction for an irrational number

o m e g a i n (0, 1)

; let

R_{n} (o m e g a)

(resp.

R_{n,, k} (o m e g a)

,

R_{n,, k +} (o m e g a)

) be the number of distinct partial quotients each of which appears at least once (resp. exactly

k

times, at least

k

times) in the sequence

a_{1}, c d o t s, a_{n}

. In this paper it is proved that for Lebesgue almost all

o m e g a i n (0, 1)

and all

k g e q 1

,

displaystyle lim_{n o infty} frac{R_n (omega)}{sqrt{n}}=sqrt{frac{pi}{log 2}}, quad lim_{n o infty} frac{R_{n, , k} (omega)}{R_n (omega)}=frac{C_{2 k}^k}{(2k-1) cdot 4^k}, quad lim_{n o infty} frac{R_{n, , k} (omega)}{R_{n, , k+} (omega)}=frac{1}{2k}.

The Hausdorff dimensions of certain level sets about

R_{n}

are discussed.
