Abstract

Let α(0,1)\alpha \in (0,1) and irrational. We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of sequences of certain trigonometric products (Sudler products) (PN(α))NN(P_N(\alpha))_{N\in\mathbb{N}} with PN(α)=r=1N2sin(πrα).P_N(\alpha) =\prod_{r=1}^N|2\sin(\pi r \alpha)|. More precisely, we are interested in the asymptotic behaviour of subsequences of the form (Pqn(α)(α))nN(P_{q_n(\alpha)}(\alpha))_{n\in\mathbb{N}}, where qn(α)q_n(\alpha) is the nnth best approximation denominator of α\alpha. Interesting upper and lower bounds for the growth of these subsequences are given, and convergence results, obtained by Mestel and Verschueren (see arXiv:1411.2252math[DS]) and Grepstad and Neum\"uller (see arXiv:1801.09416[math.NT]), are generalized to the case of irrationals with bounded continued fraction coefficients.
