By a classical result of Gauss and Kuzmin, the continued fraction expansion of a ``random'' real number contains each digit $a\in\mathbb{N}$ with asymptotic frequency $\log_2(1+1/(a(a+2)))$. We generalize this result in two directions:…
Let w be a binary string and let a_w (n) be the number of occurrences of the word w in the binary expansion of n. As usual we let s(n) denote the Stern sequence; that is, s(0)=0, s(1)=1, and for n >= 1, s(2n)=s(n) and s(2n+1)=s(n)+s(n+1).…
The Minkowski Question Mark function can be characterized as the unique homeomorphism of the real unit interval that conjugates the Farey map with the tent map. We construct an n-dimensional analogue of the Minkowski function as the only…
We discuss continued fractions on real quadratic number fields of class number 1. If the field has the property of being 2-stage euclidean, a generalization of the euclidean algorithm can be used to compute these continued fractions.…
We describe Gauss-type maps as geometric realizations of certain codes in the monoid of nonnegative matrices in the extended modular group. Each such code, together with an appropriate choice of unimodular intervals in P^1R, determines a…
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…

The Hankel transform of an integer sequence is a much studied and much applied mathematical operation. In this note, we extend the notion in a natural way to sequences of $d$ integer sequences. We explore links to generalized continued…
Multidimensional continued fractions (MCFs) were introduced by Jacobi and Perron in order to obtain periodic representations for algebraic irrationals, as it is for continued fractions and quadratic irrationals. Since continued fractions…
In this paper we examine the subset of Farey fractions of order Q consisting of those fractions whose denominators are odd. In particular, we consider the frequencies of values of numerators of differences of consecutive elements in this…
In this paper, we will first summarize known results concerning continued fractions. Then we will limit our consideration to continued fractions of quadratic numbers. The second author described periods and sometimes precise form of…
Our goal is to show that both the fast and slow versions of the triangle map (a type of multi-dimensional continued fraction algorithm) in dimension $n$ are ergodic, resolving a conjecture of Messaoudi, Noguiera and Schweiger. This…
The Minkowski question mark function, maping the unit interval to itself, is a continuous, strictly increasing, one-to-one and onto function that has derivative zero almost everywhere. Key to these facts are the basic properties of…
The results for the fractional sequence $\left \{[x/n]+1:n \leq x\right \}$, and the fractional sequence in arithmetic progression $\left \{q[x/n]+a:n \leq x\right \}$, where $a<q$ are integers such that $\gcd(a,q)=1$, prove that these…

The continued fraction mapping maps a number in the interval $[0,1)$ to the sequence of its partial quotients. When restricted to the set of irrationals, which is a subspace of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}$, the continued fraction…
