Abstract:
We obtain a nontrivial estimate of the variance of the sum of bounded partial quotients appearing in the continued-fraction expansion of a rational number with fixed denominator. As a consequence, we obtain a law of large numbers for the sum of all partial quotients.
Keywords:
law of large numbers, rational number, continued fraction, partial quotient, Euler function, Möbius function, Riemann zeta function.
