The Entropy of Nakada’s Α-continued Fractions: Analytical Results

نویسنده

  • GIULIO TIOZZO
چکیده

We study the ergodic theory of a one-parameter family of interval maps Tα arising from generalized continued fraction algorithms. First of all, we prove the dependence of the metric entropy of Tα to be Hölder-continuous in the parameter α. Moreover, we prove a central limit theorem for possibly unbounded observables whose bounded variation grows moderately. This class of functions is large enough to cover the case of Birkhoff averages converging to the entropy. MSC: 11K50, 37A10 (Primary) 37A55, 37E05 (Secondary)

Natural Extensions and Entropy of Α-continued Fractions

We construct a natural extension for each of Nakada’s α-continued fraction transformations and show the continuity as a function of α of both the entropy and the measure of the natural extension domain with respect to the density function (1+ xy). For 0 < α ≤ 1, we show that the product of the entropy with the measure of the domain equals π/6. We show that the interval (3 − √ 5)/2 ≤ α ≤ (1 + √ ...

On the entropy of Japanese continued fractions

We consider a one-parameter family of expanding interval maps {Tα}α∈[0,1] (japanese continued fractions) which include the Gauss map (α = 1) and the nearest integer and by-excess continued fraction maps (α = 1 2 , α = 0). We prove that the Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy h(α) of these maps depends continuously on the parameter and that h(α) → 0 as α → 0. Numerical results suggest that this convergence...

ESTIMATING THE MEAN OF INVERSE GAUSSIAN DISTRIB WTION WITH KNOWN COEFFICIENT OF VARIATION UNDER ENTROPY LOSS

An estimation problem of the mean µ of an inverse Gaussian distribution IG(µ, C µ) with known coefficient of variation c is treated as a decision problem with entropy loss function. A class of Bayes estimators is constructed, and shown to include MRSE estimator as its closure. Two important members of this class can easily be computed using continued fractions

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to describe the relation between the Legendre and the Lenstra constants. Indeed we show that they are equal whenever the Legendre constant exists; in particular, this holds for both Rosen continued fractions and α-continued fractions. We also give the explicit value of the entropy of the Rosen map with respect to the absolutely continuous invariant probabil...

TNF-α production is modulated by Aloe vera gel extract and its fractions in Candida albicans infected macrophages

Background: Aloes have been used as medicinal plants for centuries. The immunomodulatory effect of Aloe vera has previouslybeen shown. Meanwhile, TNF-α, as an inflammatory cytokine, plays an essential role in defense against invading pathogen. Objectives: In the present study, the effects of A. vera extract gel and its fractions were investigated on the TNF-α production bymacrophages against Ca...
