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:…

We define an equivalence relation on periodic continued fractions with partial quotients in a ring $\mathcal{O} \subseteq \mathbf{C}$, a group law on these equivalence classes, and a map from these equivalence classes to matrices in…

In this paper we study the three-dimensional analogue of the relation between the irrationality exponent of a real number and the growth of its regular continued fraction partial quotients. As a multidimensional generalisation of continued…

This paper was motivated by a conjecture of Br\"{a}nd\'{e}n (European J. Combin. \textbf{29} (2008), no.~2, 514--531) about the divisibility of the coefficients in an expansion of generalized Eulerian polynomials, which implies the…

For a complex polynomial $D(t)$ of even degree, one may define the continued fraction of $\sqrt{D(t)}$. This was found relevant already by Abel in 1826, and later by Chebyshev, concerning integration of (hyperelliptic) differentials; they…

For regular continued fractions (CFs), points with finite expansions are exactly the rationals and, by Lagrange's theorem, points with eventually-periodic expansions are exactly the roots of non-degenerate quadratic equations with integer…

We give a concise introduction to the theory of continuants and show how Perron used them in his proof of Tietze theorem on the convergence of infinite semi-regular continued fractions, as well as for the study of the convergence of purely…

It is well known that the $(-1)$-evaluation of the enumerator polynomials of permutations (resp. derangements) by the number of excedances gives rise to tangent numbers (resp. secant numbers). Recently, two distinct $q$-analogues of the…
