Abstract: | Summary There have been many studies of the values taken on by continued fractionsK(a
n
/1) when its elements are all in a prescribed setE. The set of all values taken on is the limit regionV(E). It has been conjectured that the values inV(E), are taken on with varying probabilities even when the elementsa
n
are uniformly distributed overE. In this article, we present the first concrete evidence that this is indeed so. We consider two types of element regions: (A)E is an interval on the real axis. Our best results are for intervals – (1– ), (1– )], 0 <![rgr](/content/x954468250h61782/xxlarge961.gif) 1/2. (B)E is a disk in the complex plane defined byE={z:|z|![lE](/content/x954468250h61782/xxlarge8806.gif) (1– )}., 0<![rgr](/content/x954468250h61782/xxlarge961.gif) 1/2. |
