We study, from the viewpoint of metrical number theory and (infinite) ergodic theory, the probabilistic laws governing the occurrence of prime numbers as digits in continued fraction expansions of real numbers.

In the article the $mm$-entropy (an entropy of a metric measure space) introduced by C. Shannon is evaluated for an $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process. For $\alpha<1$ the double-sided estimates of the same order are obtained for process…

In this paper we present a convergence theorem for continued fractions of the form $K_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}/1$. By deriving conditions on the $a_{n}$ which ensure that the odd and even parts of $K_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}/1$ converge, these same…

We construct an absolutely normal number whose continued fraction expansion is normal in the sense that it contains all finite patterns of partial quotients with the expected asymptotic frequency as given by the Gauss-Kuzmin measure. The…

In this paper, we study the Lebesgue structure of the distribution of a random variable given in terms of a continued fraction with a two-symbol alphabet $\{\frac{1}{2}, 1\}$, also known as $A_2$-fractions. We establish necessary and…

This paper concerns the relationships between continued fractions and the geometry of the Stern-Brocot diagram. Each rational number can be expressed as a continued fraction $[a_0; a_1, \ldots, a_n]$ whose terms $a_i$ are integers and are…

A generalization of the regular continued fractions was given by Burger et al. in 2008 [3]. In this paper we give metric properties of this expansion. For the transformation which generates this expansion, its invariant measure and…

We introduce and study in detail a special class of backward continued fractions that represents a generalization of R\'enyi continued fractions. We investigate the main metrical properties of the digits occurring in these expansions and we…

Adler, Keane, and Smorodinsky showed that if one concatenates the finite continued fraction expansions of the sequence of rationals \[ \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{4}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{1}{5}, \cdots \] into…

Good's Theorem for regular continued fraction states that the set of real numbers $[a_0;a_1,a_2,\ldots]$ such that $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty} a_n=\infty$ has Hausdorff dimension $\tfrac{1}{2}$. We show an analogous result for the…
