We propose and study a generalized continued fraction algorithm that can be executed in an arbitrary imaginary quadratic field, the novelty being a non-restriction to the five Euclidean cases. Many hallmark properties of classical continued…

Let $x \in [0,1)$ with continued fraction expansion $[a_1(x),a_2(x),\dots]$, and let $\phi:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}^+$ be a non-decreasing function. We consider the numbers whose continued fraction expansions contain at least two partial…

We provide a generalization of continued fractions to the Heisenberg group. We prove an explicit estimate on the rate of convergence of the infinite continued fraction and several surprising analogs of classical formulas about continued…

In this paper, we clarified the relationship between continued fractions, determinants, and identities, making it easier to apply these methods systematically in other settings. In particular, we studied finite continued fractions from the…

Recently, Babson and Steingrimsson (see \cite{BS}) introduced generalized permutations patterns that allow the requirement that two adjacent letters in a pattern must be adjacent in the permutation. Following \cite{BCS}, let $e_k\pi$…

Let $A = \{a_{1},a_{2},\dots{}\}$ $(a_{1} < a_{2} < \dots{})$ be an infinite sequence of nonnegative integers, and let $R_{A,2}(n)$ denote the number of solutions of $a_{x}+a_{y}=n$ $(a_{x},a_{y}\in A)$. P. Erd\H{o}s, A. S\'ark\"ozy and V.…

In this paper, we prove a criterion for complexity in $g$-ary expansions of a rational fraction $a/b<1$ with gcd$(a,b)=1$. We prove that for any purely periodic proper fraction $a/b$ and all $j\geq 1$, each sequence of $j$ digits occurs in…

Continued fractions have been generalized over the field of $p$-adic numbers, where it is still not known an analogue of the famous Lagrange's Theorem. In general, the periodicity of $p$-adic continued fractions is well studied and…

We give explicit and asymptotic lower bounds for the quantity $|e^{s/t}-M/N|$ by studying a generalized continued fraction expansion of $e^{s/t}$. In cases $|s|\geq 3$ we improve existing results by extracting a large common factor from the…

In this paper, we introduce the polynomial continued fraction, a close relative of the well-known simple continued fraction expansions which are widely used in number theory and in general. While they may not possess all the intriguing…

We present a characterization of the algebraic integers with continued fraction expansions of the form $[a_0, \overline{a_1, \ldots, a_n, s}]$, where $(a_1, \ldots, a_n)$ is a palindrome and $s \in \mathbb{N}_{\geq 1}$. In particular, we…
