If the odd and even parts of a continued fraction converge to different values, the continued fraction may or may not converge in the general sense. We prove a theorem which settles the question of general convergence for a wide class of…

We refine a remark of Steinerberger (2024), proving that for $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$, there exists integers $1 \leq b_{1}, \ldots, b_{k} \leq n$ such that \[ \left\| \sum_{j=1}^k \sqrt{b_j} - \alpha \right\| = O(n^{-\gamma_k}), \] where…

Let $A$ be an $a$-letter alphabet. We consider fractional powers of $A$-strings: if $x$ is a $n$-letter string, $x^r$ is a prefix of $xxxx...$ having length $nr$. Let $l$ be a positive integer. Ilie, Ochem and Shallit defined $R(a,l)$ as…

$q$-deformed real numbers are power series with integer coefficients. We study Stieltjes and Jacobi type continued fraction expansions of $q$-deformed real numbers and find many new examples of such continued fractions. We also investigate…

The present paper proves that if for a power sum $\alpha$ over $\ZZ$ the length of the period of the continued fraction for $\sqrt{\alpha(n)}$ is constant for infinitely many even (resp. odd) $n$, then $\sqrt{\alpha(n)}$ admits a functional…

Let x be a quadratic irrational and let P be the set of prime numbers. We show the existence of an infinite subset S of P such that the statistics of the period of the continued fraction expansions along the sequence {px: p\in S} approach…

We introduce an ergodic approach to the study of {\em joint normality} of representations of numbers. For example, we show that for any integer $b \geq 2$ almost every number $x \in [0,1)$ is jointly normal with respect to the $b$-expansion…

A conjecture of Erd\H{o}s states that for any infinite set $A \subseteq \mathbb R$, there exists $E \subseteq \mathbb R$ of positive Lebesgue measure that does not contain any nontrivial affine copy of $A$. The conjecture remains open for…

In 2021, Brock, Elkies, and Jordan generalized the theory of periodic continued fractions (PCFs) over $\mathbb{Z}$ to the ring of integers in a number field. In particular, they considered the case where the number field is an intermediate…

Let $\Omega\subset{\mathbb R}^2$ be a bounded domain on which Hardy's inequality holds. We prove that $[\exp(u^2)-1]/\delta^2\in L^1(\Omega)$ if $u\in H^1_0(\Omega)$, where $\delta$ denotes the distance to $\partial\Omega$. The…

For $x\in (0,1)$, let $\langle d_1(x),d_2(x),d_3(x),\cdots \rangle$ be the Engel series expansion of $x$. Denote by $\lambda(x)$ the exponent of convergence of the sequence $\{d_n(x)\}$, namely \begin{equation*} \lambda(x)= \inf\left\{s…

We show that the set of Lebesgue integrable functions in $[0,1]$ which are nowhere essentially bounded is spaceable, improving a result from [F. J. Garc\'{i}a-Pacheco, M. Mart\'{i}n, and J. B. Seoane-Sep\'ulveda. \textit{Lineability,…

Generalizing a result of Pourchet, we prove that, if $\alpha,\beta$ are power sums satisfying suitable conditions, the length of the continued fraction of the ratio $\alpha(n)/\beta(n)$ tends to infinity with $n$.

We study the distribution of sequences of the form $(q_ny)_{n=1}^\infty$, where $(q_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ is some increasing sequence of integers. In particular, we study the Lebesgue measure and find bounds on the Hausdorff dimension of the set…

In this paper, we improve the results in the author's previous paper \cite{Usu22}, which deals with the quantitative problem on Littlewood's conjecture. We show that, for any $0<\gamma<1$, any $(\alpha,\beta)\in\mathbb{R}^2$ except on a set…

In this article we calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the set \begin{equation*} \mathcal{F}(\Phi )=\left\{ x\in \lbrack 0,1):\begin{aligned}a_{n+1}(x)a_n(x) \geq \Phi(n) \ {\rm for \ infinitely \ many \ } n\in \mathbb N \ {\rm and } \\…

For each positive integer n greater than or equal to 2, a new approach to expressing real numbers as sequences of nonnegative integers is given. The n=2 case is equivalent to the standard continued fraction algorithm. For n=3, it reduces to…

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…

To compare continued fraction digits with the denominators of the corresponding approximants we introduce the arithmetic-geometric scaling. We will completely determine its multifractal spectrum by means of a number theoretical free energy…
