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}], with all partial quotients d1,d2,...,dkd_1,d_2,...,d_{k} being bounded by an absolute constant A.A. Recently (in 2011) several new theorems concerning this conjecture were proved by Bourgain and Kontorovich. The easiest of them states that the set of numbers satisfying Zaremba's conjecture with A=50 has positive proportion in N.\N. In this paper the same theorem is proved with A=7.
