Dichotomy Between Uniform Distributions of the Stern-Brocot and the Farey Sequence


Authors

Marc Kesseböhmer and Bernd O. Stratmann


Abstract

We employ infinite ergodic theory to show that the even Stern- Brocot sequence and the Farey sequence are uniformly distributed with respect to certain canonical weightings. As a corollary we derive the precise asymptotic for the Lebesgue measure of continued fraction sum-level sets as well as connections to asymptotic behaviours of geometrically and arithmetically restricted Poincaré series. Moreover, we give relations of our main results to elementary observations for the Stern-Brocot tree.


Keywords

Uniform distribution, Stern-Brocot sequence, Farey sequence, infinite ergodic.
