On the Sz\"usz's Solution to Gauss' Problem

The present paper deals with Gauss’ problem on continued fractions. We present a new proof of a theorem which Sz"usz applied in order to solve this problem. To be noted, that we obtain the value $\mathrm{0.7594...}$ for $q$, which has been optimized by Sz"usz in his 1961 paper “"Uber einen Kusminschen Satz”, where the value 0.485 is obtained for $q$. In our proof, we make use of an important property of the Perron-Frobenius operator of $\tau$ under $\gamma$, where $\tau$ is the continued fraction transformation, and $\gamma$ is the Gauss’ measure.
