Computers calculate transcendental functions by approximating them through the composition of a few limited-precision instructions. For example, an exponential can be calculated with a Taylor series. These approximation methods were…
In this paper, we show the existence of a transcendental function $f\in\mathbb{Z}\{z\}$ with coefficients that are almost all bounded such that $f$ and all its derivatives assume algebraic values at algebraic points. Furthermore, we…
Let $[a_1(x),a_2(x),a_3(x),\cdots]$ be the continued fraction expansion of $x\in (0,1)$. This paper is concerned with certain sets of continued fractions with non-decreasing partial quotients. As a main result, we obtain the Hausdorff…
This paper investigates integer multiplication of continued fractions using geometric structures. In particular, this paper shows that integer multiplication of a continued fraction can be represented by replacing one triangulation of an…
We present family of automatic sequences that define algebraic continued fractions in characteristic 2. This family is constructed from ultimately period words and contains the period-doubling sequence.
We investigate some properties of the higher continued fractions defined recently by Musiker, Ovenhouse, Schiffler, and Zhang. We prove that the maps defining the higher continued fractions are increasing continuous functions on the…
We exhibit the construction of a deterministic automaton that, given k > 0, recognizes the (regular) language of k-differentiable words. Our approach follows a scheme of Crochemore et al. based on minimal forbidden words. We extend this…
Zaremba's Conjecture concerns the formation of continued fractions with partial quotients restricted to a given alphabet. In order to answer the numerous questions that arrive from this conjecture, it is best to consider a semi-group, often…
A type of fractional derivative, referred to as \alpha-derivative, is studied. The \alpha-derivative of fractional type obeys Leibnitz rule. Based on the definition of \alpha-derivative the operations of analysis and differential geometry…
The repetition threshold is the smallest real number $\alpha$ such that there exists an infinite word over a $k$-letter alphabet that avoids repetition of exponent strictly greater than $\alpha$. This notion can be generalized to graph…
We show that for each positive integer $a$ there exist only finitely many prime numbers $p$ such that $a$ appears an odd number of times in the period of continued fraction of $\sqrt{p}$ or $\sqrt{2p}$. We also prove that if $p$ is a prime…
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…
The goal is to obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of quadratic extensions with bounded discriminant of a some quadratic number field with odd class number. This extends an already known result for Q.
Gosper developed an algorithm for performing arithmetic operations on continued fractions (CFs), getting a CF as the result. Straightforward implementation of the algorithm leads to infinite loops on some inputs. Here we present a modified…
We derive an asymptotic formula which counts the number of abelian extensions of prime degrees over rational function fields. Specifically, let $\ell$ be a rational prime and $K$ a rational function field $\Bbb F_q(t)$ with $\ell \nmid q$.…
Definitions of fractional derivative of order $\alpha$ ($0 < \alpha \leq 1$) using non-singular kernels have been recently proposed. In this note we show that these definitions cannot be useful in modelling problems with a initial value…
We obtain general criteria for giving a lower bound on the degree of numbers of the form $\prod_{n=1}^\infty \left(1+\frac{b_n}{\alpha_n}\right)$ or of the form $\prod_{m=1}^\infty \left(1+ \sum_{n=1}^\infty…
We study systems of quadratic forms over fields and their isotropy over 2-extensions. We apply this to obtain particular splitting fields for quaternion algebras defined over a finite field extension. As a consequence, we obtain that every…
We prove a quantitative distortion theorem for iterated function systems that generate sets of continued fractions. As a consequence, we obtain upper and lower bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of any set of real or complex continued…
We introduce two families of transcendental numbers which we call finite factorial (FF) and partially finite factorial (PFF) numbers respectively, with the former one being subfamily of the latter one. These numbers arise naturally from…
