Singularity of distributions of random variables given by distributions of elements of the corresponding continued fraction

The structure of the distribution of a random variable for which elements of the corresponding elementary continued fraction are independent random variables is completely studied. We prove that the distribution is pure and the absolute continuity is impossible, give a criterion of singularity, and...

Description
Summary:The structure of the distribution of a random variable for which elements of the corresponding elementary continued fraction are independent random variables is completely studied. We prove that the distribution is pure and the absolute continuity is impossible, give a criterion of singularity, and study the properties of the spectrum. For the distribution of a random variable for which elements of the corresponding continued fraction form a uniform Markov chain, we describe the spectrum, obtain formulas for the distribution function and density, give a criterion of the Cantor property, and prove that an absolutely continuous component is absent.
