An analogue of the Gauss-Kuzmin problem for continued A2-fractions
Abstract
In this paper, a special chain representation of real numbers on a fixed interval is considered, where the elements of the expansion can take only one of two possible values. For this encoding system, a problem in metric number theory and dynamical systems is solved, which is a direct analogue of the classical Gauss problem for simple continued fractions. Specifically, the asymptotic behavior of the Lebesgue measure for a special class of sets is investigated. These sets are formed by those numbers for which the remainder (or infinite tail) of their chain expansion, after discarding the first few elements, is strictly less than a predetermined value.
