This paper concerns the relationships between continued fractions and the geometry of the Stern-Brocot diagram. Each rational number can be expressed as a continued fraction $[a_0; a_1, \ldots, a_n]$ whose terms $a_i$ are integers and are…

This paper is a short survey of the recent results on examples of periodic two-dimensional continued fractions (in Klein's model). In the last part of this paper we formulate some questions, problems and conjectures on geometrical…

In this work, we present continued fractions for the arithmetic, geometric, harmonic and cotangent means of $[a_0,a_1,\dots,a_k]$ and $[a_0,a_1,\dots,a_k,a_{k+1}]$, and some of their applications.

The subset of quadratic primes {p = an^2 + bn + c : n => 1} generated by an irreducible polynomial f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c over the integers is widely believed to be an unbounded subset of prime numbers. This note provides the details of a…

We ask, for which $n$ does there exists a $k$, $1 \leq k < n$ and $(k,n)=1$, so that $k/n$ has a continued fraction whose partial quotients are bounded in average by a constant $B$? This question is intimately connected with several other…

We explore a bijection between permutations and colored Motzkin paths that has been used in different forms by Foata and Zeilberger, Biane, and Corteel. By giving a visual representation of this bijection in terms of so-called cycle…

In this paper, we improve some transcendence results for $p$--adic continued fractions. In particular, we prove that palindromic and quasi--periodic $p$--adic continued fractions converge either to transcendental numbers or quadratic…

Classifications of twin primes are established and then applied to triplets that generalize to all higher multiplets. Mersenne and Fermat twins and triplets are treated in this framework. Regular prime number multiplets are related to…

We determine the Lebesgue measure and Hausdorff dimension of various sets of real numbers with infinitely many partial quotients that are both large and prime, thus extending the well-known theorems by {\L}uczak (1997) and Huang-Wu-Xu…

We consider a family of continued fraction expansions of any number in the unit closed interval $[0,1]$ whose digits are differences of consecutive non-positive integer powers of an integer $m \geq 2$. For this expansion, we apply the…

For any real number $x \in [0,1)$, we denote by $q_n(x)$ the denominator of the $n$-th convergent of the continued fraction expansion of $x$ $(n \in \mathbb{N})$. It is well-known that the Lebesgue measure of the set of points $x \in [0,1)$…

A D-permutation is a permutation of $[2n]$ satisfying $2k-1 \le \sigma(2k-1)$ and $2k \ge \sigma(2k)$ for all $k$; they provide a combinatorial model for the Genocchi and median Genocchi numbers. We find Stieltjes-type and Thron-type…

We show that for every positive integer $k$, there exist $k$ consecutive primes having the property that if any digit of any one of the primes, including any of the infinitely many leading zero digits, is changed, then that prime becomes…

A contiguous relation for complementry pairs of very well poised balanced ${}_{10}\phi_9$ basic hypergeometric functions is used to derive an explict expression for the associated continued fraction. This generalizes the continued fraction…
