Thus, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of Chan's continued fractions, $\\theta-$expansions, $N-$continued fractions and R\\'enyi-type continued fractions. A central role in fulfilling our goal is the entropy of the measure preserving transformations which generate these expansions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-05-01T13:56:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11J70", "37A35" ], "keywords": [ "continued fraction expansions", "lochs-type approach", "comparison", "measure preserving transformations", "central role" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
