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 show that algebraic formulas and constant-depth circuits are closed under taking factors. In other words, we show that if a multivariate polynomial over a field of characteristic zero has a small constant-depth circuit or formula, then…
In this paper we study in detail a family of continued fraction expansions of any number in the unit closed interval $[0,1]$ whose digits are differences of consecutive non-positive integer powers of an integer $m \geq 2$. For the…
Recently, general fractional calculus was introduced by Kochubei (2011) and Luchko (2021) as a further generalisation of fractional calculus, where the derivative and integral operator admits arbitrary kernel. Such a formalism will have…
For the first time, a general fractional calculus of arbitrary order was proposed by Yuri Luchko in the works Mathematics 9(6) (2021) 594 and Symmetry 13(5) (2021) 755. In these works, the proposed approaches to formulate this calculus are…
We show that the statistics of the continued fraction expansion of a randomly chosen rational in the unit interval, with a fixed large denominator $q$, approaches the Gauss-Kuzmin statistics with polynomial rate in $q$. This improves on…
In 1928, Jarn\'{\i}k \cite{Jar} obtained that the set of continued fractions with bounded coefficients has Hausdorff dimension one. Good \cite{Goo} observed a dimension drop phenomenon by proving that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of…
We construct a class of quadratic irrationals having continued fractions of period $n\geq2$ with "small" partial quotients for which certain integer multiples have continued fractions of period $1$, $2$ or $4$ with "large" partial…
We show, for each $q$-continued fraction $G(q)$ in a certain class of continued fractions, that there is an uncountable set of points on the unit circle at which $G(q)$ diverges in the general sense. This class includes the Rogers-Ramanujan…
In this paper we present a family of continued fraction expansions for $e^n$, with $n\ge 1$, with a simple expression having partial denominators given by arithmetic progressions. We give an estimate for the convergence speed showing that…
We have calculated on the computer the sum $\bar{\BB}_M$ of reciprocals of all 47 known Mersenne primes with the accuracy of over 12000000 decimal digits. Next we developed $\bar{\BB}_M$ into the continued fraction and calculated…
The continued fraction expansion of an irrational number $\alpha$ is eventually periodic if and only if $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrationality. However, very little is known regarding the size of the partial quotients of algebraic real…
Euler gave recipes for converting alternating series of two types, I and II, into equivalent continued fractions, i.e., ones whose convergents equal the partial sums. A condition we prove for irrationality of a continued fraction then…
In this paper, we present some generalizations of Lagrange's theorem in the classical theory of continued fractions motivated by the geometric interpretation of the classical theory in terms of closed geodesics on the modular curve. As a…
A basic result in the elementary theory of continued fractions says that two real numbers share the same tail in their continued fraction expansions iff they belong to the same orbit under the projective action of PGL(2,Z). This result was…
We investigate some properties of the higher continued fractions defined recently by Musiker, Ovenhouse, Schiffler, and Zhang. We prove that the maps defining the higher continued fractions are increasing continuous functions on the…
Let $\frak E$ denote be the ring of Eisenstein integers. Let $z\in \mathbb C$ and $p_n,q_n \in \frak E$ be such that $\{p_n/q_n\}$ is the sequence of convergents corresponding to the continued fraction expansion of $z$ with respect to the…
Zaremba's conjecture concerns a formation of continued fraction expansions for rational numbers with partial quotient bounded by an absolute constant. We present asymptotic estimates for the size of $\epsilon$-thickening of certain fractal…
We show that two notions of continued fraction normality, one where overlapping occurrences of finite patterns are counted as distinct occurrences, and another where only disjoint occurrences are counted as distinct, are identical. This…
We develop a fractional extension of the classical binomial distribution and the associated Bernstein operator, formulated within the framework of the generalized binomial theorem (Hara and Hino [Bull.\ London Math.\ Soc. \textbf{42}…
