Almost-sure divergence of denominators in p-adic continued fractions

Let p5p\geq 5, and let {Bn}nN\{|B_n|\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}} be the sequence of denominators of convergents for Browkin I, Browkin II and Algorithm MR p-adic continued fractions. Denominator divergence conjecture. The sequence Bn|B_n| tends to ++\infty with probability 11. Under the paper's uniform-distribution assumption for p-adic digits, the expected size of a Browkin I partial quotient grows linearly with pp, motivating this almost-sure growth claim; no proof is supplied.
