Abstract

In this note, we study a family of subgraphs of the Farey graph, denoted as FN\mathcal{F}_N for every NN.N\in\mathbb{N}. We show that FN\mathcal{F}_N is connected if and only if NN is either equal to one or a prime power. We introduce a class of continued fractions referred to as FN\mathcal{F}_N-continued fractions for each N>1.N>1. We establish a relation between FN\mathcal{F}_N-continued fractions and certain paths from infinity in the graph FN.\mathcal{F}_N. We discuss existence and uniqueness of FN\mathcal{F}_N-continued fraction expansions of real numbers.
