In a previous escapade we gave a collection of continued fractions involving Catalan's constant. This paper provides more general formulae governing those continued fractions. Having distinguished different cases associated to regions in…
It is well known that if $0.a_1a_2a_3\dots$ is the base-$b$ expansion of a number normal to base-$b$, then the numbers $0.a_ka_{m+k}a_{2m+k}\dots$ for $m\ge 2$, $k\ge 1$ are all normal to base-$b$ as well. In contrast, given a continued…
This paper is a sequel to our previous work in which we found a combinatorial realization of continued fractions as quotients of the number of perfect matchings of snake graphs. We show how this realization reflects the convergents of the…
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…
A permutation is said to be cycle-alternating if it has no cycle double rises, cycle double falls or fixed points; thus each index $i$ is either a cycle valley ($\sigma^{-1}(i)>i<\sigma(i)$) or a cycle peak ($\sigma^{-1}(i)<i>\sigma(i)$).…
Generalized pseudostandard word $\bf u$, as introduced in 2006 by de Luca and De Luca, is given by a directive sequence of letters from an alphabet ${\cal A}$ and by a directive sequence of involutory antimorphisms acting on ${\cal A}^*$.…
The classical theory of continued fractions has been widely studied for centuries for its important properties of good approximation, and more recently it has been generalized to $p$-adic numbers where it presents many differences with…
Let $A(n,m)$ denote the Eulerian numbers, which count the number of permutations on $[n]$ with exactly $m$ descents. It is well known that $A(n,m)$ also counts the number of permutations on $[n]$ with exactly $m$ excedances. In this report,…
In this work, we deal with extreme value theory in the context of continued fractions using techniques from probability theory, ergodic theory and real analysis. We give an upper bound for the rate of convergence in the Doeblin-Iosifescu…
Given a sequence of complex square matrices, $a_n$, consider the sequence of their partial products, defined by $p_n=p_{n-1}a_{n}$. What can be said about the asymptotics as $n\to\infty$ of the sequence $f(p_n)$, where $f$ is a continuous…
In this article, we study the enumeration by length of several walk models on the square lattice. We obtain bijections between walks in the upper half-plane returning to the $x$-axis and walks in the quarter plane. A recent work by Bostan,…
We show that there exists a bounded pattern of m consecutive primes for any m>0, that means a tuple H_m of m distinct non-negative integers h_i (i=1,2,...m) such that its translations contain arbitrarily long (finite) arithmetic…
Comtraces (combined traces) are extensions of Mazurkiewicz traces that can model the "not later than" relationship. In this paper, we first introduce the novel notion of generalized comtraces, extensions of comtraces that can additionally…
We use the Schmidt Subspace Theorem to establish the transcendence of a class of quasi-periodic continued fractions. This improves earlier works of Maillet and of A. Baker. We also improve an old result of Davenport and Roth on the rate of…
In an earlier paper we introduced the notion of 'bifurcating continued fractions' in a heuristic manner. In this paper a formal theory is developed for the 'bifurcating continued fractions'.
We put forward several general conjectures concerning the algebraicity or transcendence of continued fractions and Stieltjes continued fractions defined by the Thue-Morse and period-doubling sequences in characteristic $2$. We present our…
The study of combinatorial properties of mathematical objects is a very important research field and continued fractions have been deeply studied in this sense. However, multidimensional continued fractions, which are a generalization…
We study growth rates of generalised Fibonacci sequences of a particular structure. These sequences are constructed from choosing two real numbers for the first two terms and always having the next term be either the sum or the difference…
Fundamental to the theory of continued fractions is the fact that every infinite continued fraction with positive integer coefficients converges; however, it is unknown precisely which continued fractions with integer coefficients (not…
