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

About 2 years old · traced to

Let p≥5p\geq 5, and let {∣Bn∣}n∈N\{|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.
