A Lochs-Type Approach via Entropy in Comparing the Efficiency of Different Continued Fraction Algorithms

英文摘要：

We investigate the efficiency of several types of continued fraction expansions of a number in the unit interval using a generalization of Lochs theorem from 1964. Thus, we aimed to compare the efficiency by describing the rate at which the digits of one number-theoretic expansion determine those of another. We study Chan's continued fractions, $θ$-expansions, $N$-continued fractions and Rényi-type continued fractions. A central role in fulfilling our goal is played by the entropy of the absolutely continuous invariant probability measures of the associated dynamical systems.
