Although in theory we can decide whether a given D-finite function is transcendental, transcendence proofs remain a challenge in practice. Typically, transcendence is certified by checking certain incomplete sufficient conditions. In this…
Our main result is that any real cubic algebraic number has a continued fraction expansion with polynomial coefficients. Some generalizations are mentioned.
In the present work, we investigate real numbers whose sequence of partial quotients enjoys some combinatorial properties involving the notion of palindrome. We provide three new transendence criteria, that apply to a broad class of…
We give continued fraction algorithms for a particular class of Fuchsian triangle groups. In particular, we give an explicit form of each such group that is a subgroup of the Hilbert modular group of its trace field and provide an interval…
The Thue-Morse sequence is generalized to the $TM_m$ sequences and two equivalent definitions are given. This generalization leads to transcendental numbers and has Queff\'elec's theorem on Thue-Morse continued fractions as a special case.…
Continued fractions whose elements are polynomial sequences have been carefully studied mostly in the cases where the degree of the numerator polynomial is less than or equal to two and the degree of the denominator polynomial is less than…
In this work, we present continued fractions for the arithmetic, geometric, harmonic and cotangent means of $[a_0,a_1,\dots,a_k]$ and $[a_0,a_1,\dots,a_k,a_{k+1}]$, and some of their applications.
We develop a theory of $p$-adic continued fractions for a quaternion algebra $B$ over $\mathbb Q$ ramified at a rational prime $p$. Many properties holding in the commutative case can be proven also in this setting. In particular, we focus…
We prove that certain sequences of finite continued fractions associated with a 2-periodic continued fraction with period a,b>0 are moment sequences of discrete signed measures supported in the interval [-1,1], and we give necessary and…
Transcendental numbers play an important role in many areas of science. This paper contains a short survey on transcendental numbers and some relations among them. New inequalities for transcendental numbers are stated in Section 2 and…
We describe a simple method that produces automatically closed forms for the coefficients of continued fractions expansions of a large number of special functions. The function is specified by a non-linear differential equation and initial…
Considering an arbitrary pair of distinct and non constant polynomials, $a$ and $b$ in $\mathbb{F}_2[t]$, we build a continued fraction in $\mathbb{F}_2((1/t))$ whose partial quotients are only equal to $a$ or $b$. In a previous work of the…
We ask, for which $n$ does there exists a $k$, $1 \leq k < n$ and $(k,n)=1$, so that $k/n$ has a continued fraction whose partial quotients are bounded in average by a constant $B$? This question is intimately connected with several other…
This note is a complement to an article which was published, six years ago, in The Ramanujan Journal (vol. 45.3, 2018). Here, the goal is to fully describe a singular transcendental continued fraction in Q((T^-1)), tied to a particular…
Special kinds of continued fractions have been proved to converge to transcendental real numbers by means of the celebrated Subspace Theorem. In this paper we study the analogous $p$--adic problem. More specifically, we deal with Browkin…
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…
In this paper we define a new type of continued fraction expansion for a real number $x \in I_m:=[0,m-1], m\in N_+, m\geq 2$: \[x = \frac{m^{-b_1(x)}}{\displaystyle 1+\frac{m^{-b_2(x)}}{1+\ddots}}:=[b_1(x), b_2(x), ...]_m. \] Then, we…
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…
