Abstract

The well-known Three Gap Theorem states that there are at most three gap sizes in the sequence of fractional parts {αn}n<N. It is known that if one averages over α, the distribution becomes continuous. We present an alternative approach, which establishes this averaged result and also provides good bounds for the error terms.
