Each $x\in (0,1]$ can be uniquely expanded as a power-2-decaying Gauss-like expansion, in the form of \begin{equation*} x=\sum_{i=1}^{\infty}2^{-(d_1(x)+d_2(x)+\cdots+d_i(x))},\qquad d_i(x)\in \mathbb{N}. \end{equation*} Let…
Let $[a_1(x),a_2(x),\ldots, a_n(x), \ldots]$ be the continued fraction expansion of an irrational number $x\in (0, 1)$. The study of the growth rate of the product of consecutive partial quotients $a_n(x)a_{n+1}(x)$ is associated with the…
The L\"uroth expansion of a real number $x\in (0,1]$ is the series \[ x= \frac{1}{d_1} + \frac{1}{d_1(d_1-1)d_2} + \frac{1}{d_1(d_1-1)d_2(d_2-1)d_3} + \cdots, \] with $d_j\in\mathbb{N}_{\geq 2}$ for all $j\in\mathbb{N}$. Given $m\in…
The digits of the Pierce expansion satisfy the law of large numbers. It is known that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of exceptions to the law of large numbers is 1. We provide an elementary proof of this fact by adapting Jun Wu's…
The number of positive and negative carries in the addition of two independent random signed digit expansions of given length is analyzed asymptotically for the $(q, d)$-system and the symmetric signed digit expansion. The results include…
The paper presents fundamental metrical theorems for a class of continued fraction-like expansions known as $\theta$-expansions. We first prove Khinchine's Weak Law of Large Numbers for the sum of digits, followed by the Diamond-Vaaler…
An Engel series is a sum of reciprocals of a non-decreasing sequence $(x_n)$ of positive integers, which is such that each term is divisible by the previous one, and a Pierce series is an alternating sum of the reciprocals of a sequence…
Let $[a_1(x),a_2(x), a_3(x),\cdots]$ denote the continued fraction expansion of a real number $x \in [0,1)$. This paper is concerned with certain exceptional sets of the Borel-Bernstein Theorem on the growth rate of $\{a_n(x)\}_{n\geq1}$.…
For $x\in (0,1)$, let $\langle d_1(x),d_2(x),d_3(x),\cdots \rangle$ be the Engel series expansion of $x$. Denote by $\lambda(x)$ the exponent of convergence of the sequence $\{d_n(x)\}$, namely \begin{equation*} \lambda(x)= \inf\left\{s…
We establish a central limit theorem for counting large continued fraction digits $(a_n)$, i.e. we count occurrences $\{a_n>b_n\}$, where $(b_n)$ is a sequence of positive integers. Our result improves a similar result by Philipp which…
The presence of large partial quotients can invalidate many classical limit theorems in the metric theory of continued fractions. A commonly employed strategy to overcome this problem is to discard the largest partial quotient when…
The digits of Pierce expansion obey the law of large numbers, the central limit theorem, and the law of the iterated logarithm in the Lebesgue measure sense. We calculate the Hausdorff dimensions of the exceptional sets of each of the three…
An Engel series is a sum of reciprocals $\sum_{j\geq 1} 1/x_j$ of a non-decreasing sequence of positive integers $x_n$ with the property that $x_n$ divides $x_{n+1}$ for all $n\geq 1$. In previous work, we have shown that for any Engel…
Let $\{s_n\}$ and $\{t_n\}$ be two sequences of positive real numbers. Under some mild conditions on $\{s_n\}$ and $\{t_n\}$, we give the precise formula of the Hausdorff dimension of the set \[ \mathbb{E}(\{s_n\},\{t_n\}):=\Big\{x\in(0,1):…
Let $\beta > 1$ be a real number and $x \in [0,1)$ be an irrational number. Denote by $k_n(x)$ the exact number of partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of $x$ given by the first $n$ digits in the $\beta$-expansion of $x$…
In this paper, we study the metrical theory of the growth rate of digits in L\"{u}roth expansions. More precisely, for $ x\in \left( 0,1 \right] $, let $ \left[ d_1\left( x \right) ,d_2\left( x \right) ,\cdots \right] $ denote the…
We develop a topological framework for Engel expansions that treats both directions of the correspondence between points of $(0,1]$ and nondecreasing digit sequences. We endow the sequence space with the product topology to study the…
Khinchin proved that the arithmetic mean of continued fraction digits of Lebesgue almost every irrational number in $(0,1)$ diverges to infinity. Hence, none of the classical limit theorems such as the weak and strong laws of large numbers…
We introduce a family of maps generating continued fractions where the digit $1$ in the numerator is replaced cyclically by some given non-negative integers $(N_1,\ldots,N_m)$. We prove the convergence of the given algorithm, and study the…
