On the Gauss-Kuzmin-Lévy problem for nearest integer continued fractions
Abstract
This note provides an effective bound in the Gauss-Kuzmin-Lévy problem for some Gauss type shifts associated with nearest integer continued fractions, acting on the interval $I_0=[0,\frac{1}{2}]$ or $I_0=[-\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2}]$. We prove asymptotic formulas $λ(T^{-n}I) =μ(I)(\vert I_0 \vert +O(q^n))$ for such transformations $T$, where $λ$ is the Lebesgue measure on $\mathbb R$, $μ$ the normalized $T$-invariant Lebesgue absolutely continuous measure, $I$ subinterval in $I_0$, and $q=0.288$ is smaller than the Wirsing constant $q_W=0.3036\ldots$
