Here we construct the conformal mappings with the help of continuous fractions approximations. These approximations converge to the algebraic roots $\sqrt[N]{z}$ for $N \in \mathbb{N}$ and $z$ from the right half-plane of the complex plane.…
We statistically compare the relationships between frequencies of digits in continued fraction expansions of typical rational points in the unit interval and higher dimensional generalisations. This takes the form of a Large Deviation and…
We extend the close interplay between continued fractions, orthogonal polynomials, and Gaussian quadrature rules to several variables in a special but natural setting which we characterize in terms of moment sequences. The crucial condition…
The Fast Reciprocal Square Root Algorithm is a well-established approximation technique consisting of two stages: first, a coarse approximation is obtained by manipulating the bit pattern of the floating point argument using integer…
For a given irrational number, we consider the properties of best rational approximations of given parities. There are three different kinds of rational numbers according to the parity of the numerator and denominator, say odd/odd, even/odd…
We investigate the efficiency of several types of continued fraction expansions of a number in the unit interval using a generalization of Lochs theorem from 1964. Thus, we aimed to compare the efficiency by describing the rate at which the…
We prove an explicit formula for infinitely many convergents of Hurwitzian continued fractions that repeat several copies of the same constant and elements of one arithmetic progression, in a quasi-periodic fashion. The proof involves…
Motivated by the optimal continued fractions studied independently by Selenius and Bosma, we define and introduce algorithms producing superoptimal continued fraction expansions of irrationals. The convergents of these expansions…
An Engel series is a sum of reciprocals $\sum_{j\geq 1} 1/x_j$ of a non-decreasing sequence of positive integers $x_n$ with the property that $x_n$ divides $x_{n+1}$ for all $n\geq 1$. In previous work, we have shown that for any Engel…
We present a new algorithm for isolating the real roots of a system of multivariate polynomials, given in the monomial basis. It is inspired by existing subdivision methods in the Bernstein basis; it can be seen as generalization of the…
The goal of this paper is to formulate a systematical method for constructing the fastest possible continued fraction approximations of a class of functions. The main tools are the multiple-correction method, the generalized Mortici's lemma…
An Engel series is a sum of reciprocals of a non-decreasing sequence $(x_n)$ of positive integers, which is such that each term is divisible by the previous one, and a Pierce series is an alternating sum of the reciprocals of a sequence…
Multivariate Poisson approximation of the length spectrum of random surfaces is studied by means of the Chen-Stein method. This approach delivers simple and explicit error bounds in Poisson limit theorems. They are used to prove that…
A basic result in the elementary theory of continued fractions says that two real numbers share the same tail in their continued fraction expansions iff they belong to the same orbit under the projective action of PGL(2,Z). This result was…
Extending the classical Legendre's result, we describe all solutions of the inequality |x - a/b| < c/b^2 in terms of convergents of continued fraction expansion of x. Namely, we show that a/b = (rp_{m+1} +- sp_m) / (rq_{m+1} +- sq_m) for…
The Robbins-Monro algorithm is a recursive, simulation-based stochastic procedure to approximate the zeros of a function that can be written as an expectation. It is known that under some technical assumptions, Gaussian limit distributions…
Zaremba's conjecture concerns a formation of continued fraction expansions for rational numbers with partial quotient bounded by an absolute constant. We present asymptotic estimates for the size of $\epsilon$-thickening of certain fractal…
Rational approximations to a square root $\sqrt{k}$ can be produced by iterating the transformation $f(x) = (dx+k)/(x+d)$ starting from $\infty$ for any positive integer $d$. We show that these approximations coincide infinitely often with…
Homogeneous continued fraction algorithms are multidimensional generalizations of the classical Euclidean algorithm, the dissipative map $$ (x_1,x_2) \in \mathbb{R}_+^2 \longmapsto \left\{\begin{array}{ll} (x_1 - x_2, x_2), & \mbox{if $x_1…
We call an $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$ regainingly approximable if there exists a computable nondecreasing sequence $(a_n)_n$ of rational numbers converging to $\alpha$ with $\alpha - a_n < 2^{-n}$ for infinitely many $n \in \mathbb{N}$. We…
