We study the generalized continued fraction expansions of complex numbers in term of elements from Euclidean subrings, especially Gaussian or Eisenstein integers, in a general framework as pursued in [3] and [1]. We introduce a common…

Quadratic irrationals posses a periodic continued fraction expansion. Much less is known about cubic irrationals. We do not even know if the partial quotients are bounded, even though extensive computations suggest they might follow…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $K$ be a field with embeddings into $\mathbb{R}$ and $\mathbb{Q}_p$. We propose an algorithm that generates continued fraction expansions converging in $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and is expected to simultaneously converge…

We introduce here a general framework for studying continued fraction expansions for complex numbers and establish some results on the convergence of the corresponding sequence of convergents. For continued fraction expansions with partial…

We give a new proof of Moeckel's result that for any finite index subgroup of the modular group, almost every real number has its regular continued fraction approximants equidistributed into the cusps of the subgroup according to the…

In this paper, we present some generalizations of Lagrange's theorem in the classical theory of continued fractions motivated by the geometric interpretation of the classical theory in terms of closed geodesics on the modular curve. As a…

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…

This paper concerns extension of the classical Lagrange theorem, on the eventual periodicity of continued fraction expansions of quadratic surds, and the versions of it found in the literature in the case of complex numbers. In this…

We extend a result of Han\v{c}l, Kolouch and Nair on the irrationality and transcendence of continued fractions. We show that for a sequence $\{\alpha_n\}$ of algebraic integers of bounded degree, each attaining the maximum absolute value…

We give an elementary geometric proof using Ford circles that the convergents of the continued fraction expansion of a real number $\alpha$ coincide with the rationals that are best approximations of the second kind of $\alpha$.

We prove an analog of Lagrange's Theorem for continued fractions on the Heisenberg group: points with an eventually periodic continued fraction expansion are those that satisfy a particular type of quadratic form, and vice-versa.

We establish a central limit theorem for counting large continued fraction digits $(a_n)$, i.e. we count occurrences $\{a_n>b_n\}$, where $(b_n)$ is a sequence of positive integers. Our result improves a similar result by Philipp which…

We introduce a random dynamical system related to continued fraction expansions. It uses random combination of the Gauss map and the R\'enyi (or backwards) continued fraction map. We explore the continued fraction expansions that this…
