We show the ergodicity of Tanaka-Ito type $\alpha$-continued fraction maps and construct their natural extensions. We also discuss the relation between entropy and the size of the natural extension domain.
By means of singularisations and insertions in Nakada's alpha-expansions, which involves the removal of partial quotients 1 while introducing partial quotients with a minus sign, the natural extension of Nakada's continued fraction map…
In an article (which we will refer to as [BM]) of Boca and the fourth author of this paper, a new class of continued fraction expansions with odd partial quotients, parameterized by a parameter $\alpha\in [g,G]$, where…
In this paper we consider continued fraction (CF) expansions on intervals different from $[0,1]$. For every $x$ in such interval we find a CF expansion with a finite number of possible digits. Using the natural extension, the density of the…
We consider an analogue of Nakada's $\alpha$-continued fraction transformation in the setting of continued fractions with odd partial quotients. More precisely, given $\alpha \in [\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{5}-1),\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{5}+1)]$, we show…
We construct a countable family of open intervals contained in (0,1] whose endpoints are quadratic surds and such that their union is a full measure set. We then show that these intervals are precisely the monotonicity intervals of the…
We consider a one-parameter family of expanding interval maps $\{T_{\alpha}\}_{\alpha \in [0,1]}$ (japanese continued fractions) which include the Gauss map ($\alpha=1$) and the nearest integer and by-excess continued fraction maps…
We give natural extensions for the alpha-Rosen continued fractions of Dajani et al. for a set of small alpha values by appropriately adding and deleting rectangles from the region of the natural extension for the standard Rosen fractions.…
In this paper we consider a class of continued fraction expansions: the so-called $N$-expansions with a finite digit set, where $N\geq 2$ is an integer. These \emph{$N$-expansions with a finite digit set} were introduced in [KL,L], and…
As a natural counterpart to Nakada's $\alpha$-continued fraction maps, we study a one-parameter family of continued fraction transformations with an indifferent fixed point. We prove that matching holds for Lebesgue almost every parameter…
We establish a general criterion on the upper semi-continuity of partial entropy in all directions for $C^{1+\alpha}$ diffeomorphisms: it holds when the respective sums of Lyapunov exponents are continuous. This addresses, in arbitrary…
We define two types of the $\alpha$-Farey maps $F_{\alpha}$ and $F_{\alpha, \flat}$ for $0 < \alpha < \tfrac{1}{2}$, which were previously defined only for $\tfrac{1}{2} \le \alpha \le 1$ by R.~Natsui (2004). Then, for each $0 < \alpha <…
We consider the one-parameter family of interval maps arising from generalized continued fraction expansions known as alpha-continued fractions. For such maps, we perform a numerical study of the behaviour of metric entropy as a function of…
We extend the results of our 2020 paper in the Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, Classe di Scienze. There, we associated to each of an infinite family of triangle Fuchsian groups a one-parameter family of continued fraction…
An extension of the entropy power inequality to the form $N_r^\alpha(X+Y) \geq N_r^\alpha(X) + N_r^\alpha(Y)$ with arbitrary independent summands $X$ and $Y$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is obtained for the R\'enyi entropy and powers $\alpha \geq…
Two closely related families of ${\alpha}$-continued fractions were introduced in 1981: by Nakada on the one hand, by Tanaka and Ito on the other hand. The behavior of the entropy as a function of the parameter ${\alpha}$ has been studied…
In this paper we study certain properties of R\'{e}nyi entropy functionals $H_\alpha(\mathcal{P})$ on the space of probability distributions over $\mathbb{Z}_+$. Primarily, continuity and convergence issues are addressed. Some properties…
We study in this paper real-valued functions on the space of all sub-$\sigma$-algebras of a probability measure space, and introduce the notion of Kudo-continuity, which is an a priori strengthening of continuity with respect to strong…
We prove that for $\mathcal{C}^{1,\alpha}$ diffeomorphisms on a compact manifold $M$ with ${\rm dim} M\leq 3$, if an invariant measure $\mu$ is a continuity point of the sum of positive Lyapunov exponents, then $\mu$ is an upper…
For each positive number $\alpha$ we study the analog $\nu_alpha$ in free probability of the classical Gamma distribution with parameter $\alpha$. We prove that $\nu_\alpha$ is absolutely continuous and establish the main properties of the…
