Abstract

We show that the growth rate of denominator QnQ_n of the nn-th convergent of negative expansion of xx and the rate of approximation: lognnlogxPnQnπ23in measure. \frac{\log{n}}{n}\log{\left|x-\frac{P_n}{Q_n}\right|}\rightarrow -\frac{\pi^2}{3} \quad \text{in measure.} for a.e. xx. In the course of the proof, we reprove known inspiring results that arithmetic mean of digits of negative continued fraction converges to 3 in measure, although the limit inferior is 2, and the limit superior is infinite almost everywhere.
