Abstract

We revisit the effective Erdos-Wintner theorem for Zeckendorf expansions. Drmota and the author obtained a uniform Kolmogorov bound whose error involves Tj>L2hf(Fj)T\sum_{j>L-2h}|f(F_j)|, which assumes absolute convergence of the linear tail jf(Fj)\sum_j f(F_j). We remove this assumption. Grouping the transfer matrices in pairs and working to second order on the logarithm of the product, after extracting the common linear phase along the dominant direction, yields a quadratic tail T2j>L2hf(Fj)2T^2\sum_{j>L-2h} f(F_j)^2, or, in a flexible variant, the split tail Tf(Fj)>1/Tf(Fj)+T2f(Fj)1/Tf(Fj)2T\sum_{|f(F_j)|>1/T}|f(F_j)| + T^2\sum_{|f(F_j)|\le 1/T} f(F_j)^2. Either form requires only f(Fj)2<\sum f(F_j)^2<\infty.
