Popis: Let K(an/bn) be a continued fraction with elements (an,bn) picked randomly and independently from \((\mathbb{C}\setminus\{0\})\times\mathbb{C}\) according to some probability distribution μ. We find sufficient conditions on μ for K(an/bn) to converge with probability 1 or to be restrained with probability 1. More generally, we also consider μ-random sequences {τn} of independent Mobius transformations and find sufficient conditions for \(\{\tau_{1}\circ\tau_{2}\circ\cdots\circ\tau_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}\) to converge or be restrained with probability 1. The analysis is based on an important paper by Furstenberg.
