Renewal-type limit theorem for the Gauss map and continued fractions

In this paper we prove a renewal-type limit theorem. Given $\alpha \in (0,1)\backslash \mathbb {Q}$ and R>0, let qnR be the first denominator of the convergents of α which exceeds R. The main result in the paper is that the ratio qnR/R has a limiting distribution as R tends to infinity. The exist...
