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 obtain simple quadratic recurrence formulas counting bipartite maps on surfaces with prescribed degrees (in particular, $2k$-angulations), and constellations. These formulas are the fastest known way of computing these numbers. Our work…
Consider the representation of a rational number as a continued fraction, associated with "odd" Euclidean algorithm. In this paper we prove certain properties for the limit distribution function for sequences of rationals with bounded sum…
The presence of large partial quotients can invalidate many classical limit theorems in the metric theory of continued fractions. A commonly employed strategy to overcome this problem is to discard the largest partial quotient when…
Legendre discovered that the continued fraction expansion of $\sqrt N$ having odd period leads directly to an explicit representation of $N$ as the sum of two squares. In this vein, it was recently observed that the continued fraction…
For all integers $m \geq n \geq 2$, we exhibit infinite families of purely periodic Jacobi-Perron Algorithm (JPA) expansions of dimension $n$ with period length equal to $m$ along with the associated Hasse-Bernstein units. Some observations…
In this paper, we consider a version of the bias conjecture for second moments in the setting of elliptic curves over finite fields whose trace of Frobenius lies in an arbitrary fixed arithmetic progression. Contrary to the classical…
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 this paper we present a method to derive Eulerian continued fractions arising from a sequence of integrals. As examples, through a new derivation, we reproduce classical continued fraction expansions for the natural logarithm, the…
We extend the Series' connection between the modular surface $\mathcal{M}=\operatorname{PSL}(2,\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathbb{H}$, cutting sequences, and regular continued fractions to the slow converging Lehner and Farey continued fractions…
We describe the statistical properties of the dynamics of the quadratic polynomials P_a(z):=e^{2\pi a i} z+z^2 on the complex plane, with a of high return times. In particular, we show that these maps are uniquely ergodic on their measure…
It has been a long standing problem to find good symbolic codings for translations on the $d$-dimensional torus that enjoy the beautiful properties of Sturmian sequences like low factor complexity and good local discrepancy properties.…
Motivated by results for the HCIZ integral in Part I of this paper, we study the structure of monotone Hurwitz numbers, which are a desymmetrized version of classical Hurwitz numbers. We prove a number of results for monotone Hurwitz…
We introduce and study in detail a special class of backward continued fractions that represents a generalization of R\'enyi continued fractions. We investigate the main metrical properties of the digits occurring in these expansions and we…
We explain in detail how to accelerate continued fractions (for constants as well as for functions) using the method used by R.~Ap\'ery in his proof of the irrationality of $\zeta(3)$. We show in particular that this can be applied to a…
We define an algorithm which begins with an sequence of sequences, and produces a single sequence, with following property: If at least one of the original sequences has a tail that is periodic, then the output sequence has a periodic tail,…
Carlitz has introduced q-analogues of the Bernoulli numbers around 1950. We obtain a representation of these q-Bernoulli numbers (and some shifted version) as moments of some orthogonal polynomials. This also gives factorisations of Hankel…
The theory of ergodic optimization for distance-expanding maps is extended to Gauss's continued fraction map. Since the set of invariant probability measures is not weak$^*$ closed, we establish a characterisation of the closure of this…
The document tries to put focus on sequences with certain properties and periods leading to the first value smaller than the starting value in the Collatz problem. With the idea that, if all starting numbers lead ultimately to a smaller…
We investigate the continued fraction expansion of the infinite products $g(x) = x^{-1}\prod_{t=0}^\infty P(x^{-d^t})$ where polynomials $P(x)$ satisfy $P(0)=1$ and $\deg(P)<d$. We construct relations between partial quotients of $g(x)$…
