A distributional limit law for the continued fraction digit sum

Number Theory 2010-12-24 v2 Dynamical Systems

Abstract

We consider the continued fraction digits as random variables measured with respect to Lebesgue measure. The logarithmically scaled and normalized fluctuation process of the digit sums converges strongly distributional to a random variable uniformly distributed on the unit interval. For this process normalized linearly we determine a large deviation asymptotic.
