In 2008, Dan Romik studied in this journal Primitive Pythagorean Triples, or PPTs. In order to do so, he introduced a modified slow (subtractive) Euclidean algorithm, and showed that the underlying dynamical system of this Euclidean…
By a classical result of Gauss and Kuzmin, the continued fraction expansion of a ``random'' real number contains each digit $a\in\mathbb{N}$ with asymptotic frequency $\log_2(1+1/(a(a+2)))$. We generalize this result in two directions:…
A generalization of the regular continued fractions was given by Burger et al. in 2008 [3]. In this paper we give metric properties of this expansion. For the transformation which generates this expansion, its invariant measure and…
We consider an analogue of Nakada's $\alpha$-continued fraction transformation in the setting of continued fractions with odd partial quotients. More precisely, given $\alpha \in [\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{5}-1),\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{5}+1)]$, we show…
A celebrated result of Morse and Hedlund, stated in 1938, asserts that a sequence $x$ over a finite alphabet is ultimately periodic if and only if, for some $n$, the number of different factors of length $n$ appearing in $x$ is less than…
In a recent paper A.Beardon and I.Short proposed to use chains of tangent horocycles as an extended tool describing continued fractions. We review the origin of such construction from the Moebius transformations point of view. Related…
We construct continued fraction expansions for several families of the Laurent series in $\mathbb{Q}[[t^{-1}]]$. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first result of this kind since Gauss derived the continued fraction…
We provide a generalization of continued fractions to the Heisenberg group. We prove an explicit estimate on the rate of convergence of the infinite continued fraction and several surprising analogs of classical formulas about continued…
Inspired by J. Novak's works on the asymptotic behavior of the BGW and the HCIZ matrix integrals \cite{[N0]} and by the algebraic and geometric properties of the Hurwitz numbers \cite{[IP]}, \cite{[LZZ]}, \cite{[LR]}, \cite{[OP]},…
We establish new combinatorial transcendence criteria for continued fraction expansions. Let $\alpha = [0; a_1, a_2,...]$ be an algebraic number of degree at least three. One of our criteria implies that the sequence of partial quotients…
We generalize the classical theory of periodic continued fractions (PCFs) over ${\mathbf Z}$ to rings ${\mathcal O}$ of $S$-integers in a number field. Let ${\mathcal B}=\{\beta, {\beta^*}\}$ be the multi-set of roots of a quadratic…
This paper investigates the periodic points of the Gauss type shifts associated to the even continued fraction (Schweiger) and to the backward continued fraction (R\'enyi). We show that they coincide exactly with two sets of quadratic…
A formula for the number of monic irreducible self-reciprocal polynomials, of a given degree over a finite field, was given by Carlitz in 1967. In 2011 Ahmadi showed that Carlitz's formula extends, essentially without change, to a count of…
We establish arithmetical properties and provide essential bounds for bi-sequences of approximation coefficients associated with the natural extension of maps, leading to continued fraction-like expansions. These maps are realized as the…
Quadratic irrationals posses a periodic continued fraction expansion. Much less is known about cubic irrationals. We do not even know if the partial quotients are bounded, even though extensive computations suggest they might follow…
We study continued logarithms as introduced by Bill Gosper and studied by J. Borwein et. al.. After providing an overview of the type I and type II generalizations of binary continued logarithms introduced by Borwein et. al., we focus on a…
Our main result is that any real cubic algebraic number has a continued fraction expansion with polynomial coefficients. Some generalizations are mentioned.
For a given sequence of positive integers we make an explicit construction of a reduced hyperbolic operator in SL(2,z) with the sequence as a period of a geometric continued fraction in the sense of Klein. Further we experimentally study an…
We first survey the current state of the art concerning the dynamical properties of multidimensional continued fraction algorithms defined dynamically as piecewise fractional maps and compare them with algorithms based on lattice reduction.…
We introduced a new continued fraction expansions in our previous paper. For these expansions, we show formulae of probability about incomplete quotients. Furthermore, we prove the existence of invariant measures with respect to the…
