Beta-expansion and continued fraction expansion of real numbers

Authors

Abstract: Let

be a real number and

x i n [0, 1)

be an irrational number. We denote by

k_{n} (x)

the exact number of partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of

x

given by the first

n

digits in the

-expansion of

x

(

n i n m a t h b b N

). It is known that

k_{n} (x) / n

converges to

almost everywhere in the sense of Lebesgue measure. In this paper, we improve this result by proving that the Lebesgue measure of the set of

x i n [0, 1)

for which

k_{n} (x) / n

deviates away from

decays to 0 exponentially as

n

tends to

i n f t y

, which generalizes the result of Faivre cite{lesFai97} from

to any

. Moreover, we also discuss which of the

-expansion and continued fraction expansion yields the better approximations of real numbers.
