Abstract

Zaremba's conjecture (1971) states that every positive integer number dd can be represented as a denominator (continuant) of a finite continued fraction bd=[d1,d2,...,dk],\frac{b}{d}=[d_1,d_2,...,d_{k}], whose partial quotients d1,d2,...,dkd_1,d_2,...,d_{k} belong to a finite alphabet \AN.\A\subseteq\N. In this paper it is proved for an alphabet \A,\A, such that the Hausdorff dimension δ\A\delta_{\A} of the set of infinite continued fractions whose partial quotients belong to \A,\A, that the set of numbers d,d, satisfying Zaremba's conjecture with the alphabet \A,\A, has positive proportion in N.\N. The result improves our previous reinforcement of the corresponding Bourgain-Kontorovich's theorem.
