On the entropy of Japanese continued fractions
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 is not monotone and that the entropy function has infinitely many phase transitions and a self-similar structure. Finally, we find the natural extension and the invariant densities of the maps Tα for α = 1 n .

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
متن کاملAn Updated Review of Goodness of Fit Tests Based on Entropy
Different approaches to goodness of fit (GOF) testing are proposed. This survey intends to present the developments on Goodness of Fit based on entropy during the last 50 years, from the very first origins until the most recent advances for different data and models. Goodness of fit tests based on Shannon entropy was started by Vasicek in 1976 and were continued by many authors. In this paper, ...
متن کاملEffects of Dietary Supplementation of Zinc and α-Tocopheryl Acetate on Performance and Zinc Concentrations in Egg and Tissues of Japanese Quails
We investigated the effects of dietary supplementation of zinc (ZnO; 0, 40, 80, 120 and 160 mg/kg) and Vit E (α-tocopheryl acetate; 0 and 40 IU/kg) on egg production, egg quality and Zn content of egg fractions and tissues in Japanese quails. Using a 5 × 2 factorial design, a total of 960 Japanese quails (Coturnix coturnix japonica) at day 70 of age were housed in cages and randomly assigned in...
متن کاملErgodic Computations with Continued Fractions and Jacobi ' s Algorithm
Ergodic computational aspects of the Jacobi algorithm, a generalization to two dimensions of the continued fraction algorithm, are considered. By means of such computations the entropy of the algorithm is estimated to be 3.5. An approximation to the, invariant measure of the transformation associated with the algorithm is obtained. The computations are tested by application to the continued fra...
