The entropy of alpha-continued fractions: analytical results

We study the ergodic theory of a one-parameter family of interval maps T_alpha arising from generalized continued fraction algorithms. First of all, we prove the dependence of the metric entropy of T_alpha to be Hoelder-continuous in the parameter alpha. Moreover, we prove a central limit theorem for possibly unbounded observables whose bounded variation grows moderately. This class of functions is large enough to cover the case of Birkhoff averages converging to the entropy.
