In a recent paper, Bilu et al. studied a conjecture of Marques and Lengyel on the $p$-adic valuation of the Tribonacci sequence. In this article, we study the $p$-adic valuation of third order linear recurrence sequences by considering a…
We prove a continued fraction expansion for the reciprocal of a certain $q$-series. All the specialists in the world are asked whether it is new or not.
Rational approximations to a square root $\sqrt{k}$ can be produced by iterating the transformation $f(x) = (dx+k)/(x+d)$ starting from $\infty$ for any positive integer $d$. We show that these approximations coincide infinitely often with…
Differential calculus is not a unique way to observe polynomial equations such as $a+b=c$. We propose a way of applying difference calculus to estimate multiplicities of the roots of the polynomials $a$, $b$ and $c$ satisfying the equation…
Results in $p$-adic transcendence theory are applied to two problems in the Chabauty-Coleman method. The first is a question of McCallum and Poonen regarding repeated roots of Coleman integrals. The second is to give lower bounds on the…
In 2008, Dan Romik studied in this journal Primitive Pythagorean Triples, or PPTs. In order to do so, he introduced a modified slow (subtractive) Euclidean algorithm, and showed that the underlying dynamical system of this Euclidean…
This paper continues our investigation of Renyi-type continued fractions studied in \cite{Sebe&Lascu-2018}. A Wirsing-type approach to the Perron-Frobenius operator of the R\'enyi-type continued fraction transformation under its invariant…
We prove that if an $n\times n$ matrix defined over ${\mathbb Q}_p$ (or more generally an arbitrary complete, discretely-valued, non-Archimedean field) satisfies a certain congruence property, then it has a strictly maximal eigenvalue in…
The connection between a Taylor series and a continued-fraction involves a nonlinear relation between the Taylor coefficients $\{ a_n \}$ and the continued-fraction coefficients $\{ b_n \}$. In many instances it turns out that this…
In this paper we introduce a generalization of palindromic continued fractions as studied by Adamczewski and Bugeaud. We refer to these generalized palindromes as $m$-palindromes, where $m$ ranges over the positive integers. We provide a…
A well known method for convergence acceleration of continued fraction $\K(a_n/b_n)$ is to use the modified approximants $S_n(\omega_n)$ in place of the classical approximants $S_n(0)$, where $\omega_n$ are close to tails $f^{(n)}$ of…
We establish an equidistribution result for push-forwards of certain locally finite algebraic measures in the adelic extension of the space of lattices in the plane. As an application of our analysis we obtain new results regarding the…
Given a prime number $p$, the study of divisibility properties of a sequence $c(n)$ has two contending approaches: $p$-adic valuations and superconcongruences. The former searches for the highest power of $p$ dividing $c(n)$, for each $n$;…
We prove in particular that for any sufficiently large prime $p$ there is $1\le a<p$ such that all partial quotients of $a/p$ are bounded by $O(\log p/\log \log p)$. For composite denominators a similar result is obtained. This improves the…
We use the method of generating functions to find the limit of a $q$-continued fraction, with 4 parameters, as a ratio of certain $q$-series. We then use this result to give new proofs of several known continued fraction identities,…
Motivated by recent developments in the metrical theory of continued fractions for real numbers concerning the growth of consecutive partial quotients, we consider its analogue over the field of formal Laurent series. Let $A_n(x)$ be the…
The sum-product phenomena over a finite extension K of $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is explored. The main feature of the results is the fact that the implied constants are independent of $p$.
It is well-known that the W\"ustholz' analytic subgroup theorem is one of the most powerful theorems in transcendence theory. The theorem gives in a very systematic and conceptual way the transcendence of a large class of complex numbers,…
Recently, a new fractional derivative called the conformable fractional derivative is given on based basic limit definition derivative in [4]. Then, the fractional versions of chain rules, exponential functions, Gronwalls inequality,…
Several authors have recently proved results which express a cusp form as a $p$-adic limit of weakly holomorphic modular forms under repeated application of Atkin's $U$-operator. Initially, these results had a deficiency: one could not rule…
