Abstract

Let β>1\beta > 1 be a real number and x[0,1)x \in [0,1) be an irrational number. Denote by kn(x)k_n(x) the exact number of partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of xx given by the first nn digits in the β\beta-expansion of xx (nNn \in \mathbb{N}). In this paper, we show a central limit theorem and a law of the iterated logarithm for the random variables sequence {kn,n1}\{k_n, n \geq 1\}, which generalize the results of Faivre and Wu respectively from β=10\beta =10 to any β>1\beta >1.
