The Hankel transform of an integer sequence is a much studied and much applied mathematical operation. In this note, we extend the notion in a natural way to sequences of $d$ integer sequences. We explore links to generalized continued…
The metrical theory of the product of consecutive partial quotients is associated with the uniform Diophantine approximation, specifically to the improvements to Dirichlet's theorem. Achieving some variant forms of metrical theory in…
In the combinatorial theory of continued fractions, the Foata--Zeilberger bijection and its variants have been extensively used to derive various continued fractions enumerating several (sometimes infinitely many) simultaneous statistics on…
The generating series of a number of different objects studied in arithmetic statistics can be built out of Euler products. Euler products often have very nice analytic properties, and by constructing a meromorphic continuation one can use…
Repeatedly folding a strip of paper in half and unfolding it in straight angles produces a fractal: the dragon curve. Shallit, van der Poorten and others showed that the sequence of right and left turns relates to a continued fraction that…
``In this paper we give the history of Leonhard Euler's work on the pentagonal number theorem, and his applications of the pentagonal number theorem to the divisor function, partition function and divergent series. We have attempted to give…
Translation from the Latin of Euler's "Demonstratio theorematis circa ordinem in summis divisorum observatum" (1760). E244 in the Enestroem index. In his previous paper E243, Euler stated the pentagonal number theorem and assuming it proved…
In this paper, we represent a continued fraction expression of Mathieu series by a continued fraction formula of Ramanujan. As application, we obtain some new bounds for Mathieu series.
In this paper we answer certain questions posed by V.I. Arnold, namely, we study periods of continued fractions for solutions of quadratic equations in the form $x^2+p x=q$ with integer $p$ and $q$, $p^2+q^2\le R^2$. Our results concern the…
The aim of this note is to show the existence of a correspondance between certain algebraic continued fractions in fields of power series over a finite field and automatic sequences in the same finite field. this connection is illustrated…
Generalisations of the classical Euler formula to the setting of fractional calculus are discussed. Compound interest and fractional compound interest serve as motivation. Connections to fractional master equations are highlighted. An…
E565 in the Enestrom index. Translated from the Latin original, "De plurimis quantitatibus transcendentibus quas nullo modo per formulas integrales exprimere licet" (1775). Euler does not prove any results in this paper. It seems to me like…
We show several properties related to the structure of the family of classes of two-dimensional periodic continued fractions. This approach to the study of the family of classes of nonequivalent two dimexsional periodic continued fractions…
In this article we give, for the fist time the solution of the general difference equation of 2-degree. We also give as application the expansion of a continued fraction into series, which was first proved, found in the past by the author.
At a crossroads of calculus and combinatorics, the generating function of secant and tangent numbers (Euler numbers) provides enumeration of alternating permutations. In this article, we present a new refinement of Euler numbers to answer…
The first part of this note is a short introduction on continued fraction expansions for certain algebraic power series. In the last part, as an illustration, we present a family of algebraic continued fractions of degree 4, including a toy…
Following an idea due to Euler, we evaluate the alternating sums of powers of consrcutive integers.
We consider a special class of periodic continued fractions (called alpha-fractions) and discuss the related algebraic and geometric problems. A classical description of the Jacobi variety of a hyperelliptic curve due to Jacobi naturally…
In this short note we will use the residue theorem to establish a formula for Euler's constant. In particular, we offer a slightly generalized version of an interesting infinite series due to Flajolet, Gourdon, and Dumas.
Elementary transformations of equations $A\psi=\lambda\psi$ are considered. The invertibility condition (Theorem 1) is established and similar transformations of Riccati equations in the case of second order differential operator $A$ are…
