We prove an analog of Lagrange's Theorem for continued fractions on the Heisenberg group: points with an eventually periodic continued fraction expansion are those that satisfy a particular type of quadratic form, and vice-versa.

The aim of this article is to study (additively) indecomposable algebraic integers $\mathcal O_K$ of biquadratic number fields $K$ and universal totally positive quadratic forms with coefficients in $\mathcal O_K$. There are given…

We study universal quadratic forms over totally real number fields using Dedekind zeta functions. In particular, we prove an explicit upper bound for the rank of universal quadratic forms over a given number field $K$, under the assumption…

We construct a class of quadratic irrationals having continued fractions of period $n\geq2$ with "small" partial quotients for which certain integer multiples have continued fractions of period $1$, $2$ or $4$ with "large" partial…

In this paper, we revisit the theory of perfect unary forms over real quadratic fields. Specifically, we deduce an infinite family of real quadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{d})$ when $d=2$ or $3$ mod $4$, such that there are three classes…

We consider two classes of $q$-continued fraction whose odd and even parts are limit 1-periodic for $|q|>1$, and give theorems which guarantee the convergence of the continued fraction, or of its odd- and even parts, at points outside the…

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…

The classical theory of continued fractions has been widely studied for centuries for its important properties of good approximation, and more recently it has been generalized to $p$-adic numbers where it presents many differences with…

Rational approximations to a square root $\sqrt{k}$ can be produced by iterating the transformation $f(x) = (dx+k)/(x+d)$ starting from $\infty$ for any positive integer $d$. We show that these approximations coincide infinitely often with…

It is widely believed that the continued fraction expansion of every irrational algebraic number $\alpha$ either is eventually periodic (and we know that this is the case if and only if $\alpha$ is a quadratic irrational), or it contains…

We extend the close interplay between continued fractions, orthogonal polynomials, and Gaussian quadrature rules to several variables in a special but natural setting which we characterize in terms of moment sequences. The crucial condition…

In this paper, we consider a class of prescribed Weingarten curvature equations. Under some sufficient condition, we obtain an existence result by the standard degree theory based on the a prior estimates for the solutions to the prescribed…

Fundamental to the theory of continued fractions is the fact that every infinite continued fraction with positive integer coefficients converges; however, it is unknown precisely which continued fractions with integer coefficients (not…

Recently the author used certain quaternion orders to demonstrate the universality of some quaternary quadratic forms. Here a further study is done on one of these orders analogous to Hurwitz's proof of the formula for the number of…

Continued fractions have been generalized over the field of $p$-adic numbers, where it is still not known an analogue of the famous Lagrange's Theorem. In general, the periodicity of $p$-adic continued fractions is well studied and…

In this paper we study the properties of an algorithm for generating continued fractions in the field of p-adic numbers $\mathbb{Q}_p$. First of all, we obtain an analogue of the Galois' Theorem for classical continued fractions. Then, we…

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…

We discuss the form of certain algebraic continued fractions in the field of power series over $F_p$, where p is an odd prime number. This leads to give explicit continued fractions in these fields, satisfying an explicit algebraic equation…

Let $(A_n)_{n\in \mathbb{Z}}$ be a linear recurrence sequence with values in a real quadratic field. In this paper, we study the question whether the period length of the continued fraction of $A_n$ is bounded as $n$ varies. The case where…

We study some counting questions concerning products of positive integers $u_1, \ldots, u_n$ which form a non-zero perfect square, or more generally, a perfect $k$-th power. We obtain an asymptotic formula for the number of such integers of…
