We introduce the concept of Minkowski normality, a different type of normality for the regular continued fraction expansion. We use the ordering \[ \frac{1}{2},\quad \frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3},\quad \frac{1}{4}, \frac{3}{4},\frac{2}{5},…

Hermann Minkowski introduced a function in 1904 which maps quadratic irrational numbers to rational numbers and this function is now known as Minkowski's question mark function since Minkowski used the notation $?(x)$. This function is a…

Functions with uniform level sets can represent orders, preference relations or other binary relations and thus turn out to be a tool for scalarization that can be used, e.g., in multicriteria optimization, decision theory, mathematical…

Two generalizations of the Minkowski ?(x) function are given. As ?(x) maps quadratic irrationals to rational numbers, it is shown that both generalizations send natural classes of pairs of cubic irrational numbers in the same cubic number…

We enhance the approximation capabilities of algebraic polynomials by composing them with homeomorphisms. This composition yields families of functions that remain dense in the space of continuous functions, while enabling more accurate…

Most well-known multidimensional continued fractions, including the M\"{o}nkemeyer map and the triangle map, are generated by repeatedly subdividing triangles. This paper constructs a family of multidimensional continued fractions by…

It is proved that the Minkowski question-mark function comes from the K-theory of Cuntz-Pimsner algebras. We apply this result to calculate the action of Frobenius endomorphism at the infinite prime. Such a problem was raised by Serre and…

The aim of this paper is to give two complete and simple characterizations of Minkowski norms N on an arbitrary topological real vector space such that the sublevel sets of N are strictly convex. We first show that this property is…

In this paper we introduce and study a one-parameter family of piecewise analytic interval maps having the tent map and the Farey map as extrema. Among other things, we construct a Hilbert space of analytic functions left invariant by the…

To every log-concave function $f$ one may associate a pair of measures $(\mu_{f},\nu_{f})$ which are the surface area measures of $f$. These are a functional extension of the classical surface area measure of a convex body, and measure how…

We give a systematic and thorough study of geometric notions and results connected to Minkowski's measure of symmetry and the extension of the well-known Minkowski functional to arbitrary, not necessarily symmetric convex bodies K on any…

We give a new algorithm of slow continued fraction expansion related to any real cubic number field as a 2-dimensional version of the Farey map. Using our algorithm, we can find the generators of dual substitutions (so-called tiling…

In the literature, the Minkowski-sum and the metric-sum of compact sets are highlighted. While the first is associative, the latter is not. But the major drawback of the Minkowski combination is that, by increasing the number of summands,…

We prove a result on the structure of a Diophantine spectrum associated with Minkowski diagonal continued fraction.

A functional Menger $\cap$-algebra is a set of n-place functions containing n projections and closed under the so-called Menger's compositions of n-place functions and the set-theoretic intersection of functions. We give the abstract…

We consider a functional $\mathcal F$ on the space of convex bodies in $\R^n$ defined as follows: ${\mathcal F}(K)$ is the integral over the unit sphere of a fixed continuous functions $f$ with respect to the area measure of the convex body…

The genus statistics of isodensity contours has become a well-established tool in cosmology. In this Letter we place the genus in the wider framework of a complete family of morphological descriptors. These are known as the Minkowski…

We consider some classes of piecewise expanding maps in finite dimensional spaces having invariant probability measures which are absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure. We derive an entropy formula for such measures and,…

The Stern-Brocot tree and Minkowki's question mark function $?(x)$ (or Conway's box function) are related to the continued fraction expansion of numbers from Q with unary encoding of the partial denominators. We first define binary…

There have been many proposed forms of fractional calculus, which can be grouped into a few broad classes of operators. By replacing the kernel of the power function with another kernel function, the traditional Riemann-Liouville formula…
