The Lagrange and Markov spectra are classical objects in Number Theory related to certain Diophantine approximation problems. Geometrically, they are the spectra of heights of geodesics in the modular surface. These objects were first…

The complement $M\setminus L$ of the Lagrange spectrum $L$ in the Markov spectrum $M$ was studied by many authors (including Freiman, Berstein, Cusick and Flahive). After their works, we disposed of a countable collection of points in…

Let $L$ and $M$ denote the classical Lagrange and Markov spectra, respectively. It is known that $L\subset M$ and that $M\setminus L\neq\varnothing$. Inspired by three questions asked by the third author in previous work investigating the…

Let $L$ and $M$ denote the Lagrange and Markov spectra, respectively. It is known that $L\subset M$ and that $M\setminus L\neq\varnothing$. In this work, we exhibit new gaps of $L$ and $M$ using two methods. First, we derive such gaps by…

This paper is dedicated to the study of two famous subsets of the real line, namely Lagrange spectrum $L$ and Markov spectrum $M$. Our first result, Theorem 2.1, provides a rigorous estimate on the smallest value $t_1$ such that the portion…

The discrete part of the Markoff spectrum on the Hecke group of index 6 was determined by A.~Schmidt. In this paper, we study its Markoff and Lagrange spectra after the smallest accumulation point $4/\sqrt3$. We show that both the Markoff…

Let $M$ and $L$ be the Markov and Lagrange spectra, respectively. It is known that $L$ is contained in $M$ and Freiman showed in 1968 that $M\setminus L\neq \emptyset$. In 2018 the first region of $M\setminus L$ above $\sqrt{12}$ was…

The Lagrange spectrum $\mathcal{L}$ and Markov spectrum $\mathcal{M}$ are subsets of the real line with complicated fractal properties that appear naturally in the study of Diophantine approximations. It is known that the Hausdorff…

We show that several portions of the complement $M\setminus L$ of the Lagrange spectrum $L$ in the Markov spectrum $M$ can be seen as subsets of arithmetic sums of Cantor sets with controlled Hausdorff dimensions. In particular, we prove…

The (classical) Lagrange spectrum is a closed subset of the positive real numbers defined in terms of diophantine approximation. Its structure is quite involved. This article describes a polynomial time algorithm to approximate it in…

We consider the Markoff spectrum and the Lagrange spectrum on the Hecke group $\mathbf H_4$. They are identical to the Markoff and Lagrange spectra of the unit circle. The Markoff spectrum on $\mathbf H_4$ is also known as the Markoff…

The Lagrange and Markov spectra $L$ and $M$ describe the best constants of Diophantine approximations for irrational numbers and binary quadratic forms. In 1880, A. Markov showed that the initial portions of these spectra coincide: indeed,…

We study the graph of the function $d(t)$ encoding the Hausdorff dimensions of the classical Lagrange and Markov spectra with half-infinite lines of the form $(-\infty, t)$. For this sake, we use the fact that the Hausdorff dimension of…

Markoff-Lagrange spectrum uncovers exotic topological properties of Diophantine approximation. We investigate asymptotic properties of geometric progressions modulo one and observe significantly analogous results on the set \[ {\mathcal…

We prove several results on (fractal) geometric properties of the classical Markov and Lagrange spectra. In particular, we prove that the Hausdorff dimensions of intersections of both spectra with half-lines always coincide, and may assume…

We study the sets $\mathcal{L}$ and $\mathcal{M}\setminus\mathcal{L}$ near $3$, where $\mathcal{L}$ and $\mathcal{M}$ are the classical Lagrange and Markov spectra. More specifically, we construct a strictly decreasing sequence…

The author defines and analyzes the $1/k$ length spectra, $L_{1/k}(M)$, whose union, over all $k\in \NN$ is the classical length spectrum. These new length spectra are shown to converge in the sense that $\lim_{i\to\infty} L_{1/k}(M_i)…

We prove that among the set of smooth diffeomorphisms there exists a $C^1$-open and dense subset of data such that either the Lagrange spectrum is finite and the dynamics is a Morse-Smale diffeomorphism or the Lagrange spectrum has positive…

We develop a generalized Markov theory for the Markov--Lagrange and Markov spectra. The classical discrete Markov spectrum is governed by Markov numbers, the positive integers occurring in solutions of the Markov equation. We show that this…

We construct four new elements $3.11>m_1>m_2>m_3>m_4$ of $M\backslash L$ lying in distinct connected components of $\mathbb{R}\setminus L$, where $M$ is the Markov spectrum and $L$ is the Lagrange spectrum. These elements are part of a…
