In the well-known construction of the field of fractions of an integral domain, division by zero is excluded. We introduce "fracpairs" as pairs subject to laws consistent with the use of the pair as a fraction, but do not exclude…
Geometric number systems, obtained by extending the real number system to include new anticommuting square roots of +1 and -1, provide a royal road to higher mathematics by largely sidestepping the tedious languages of tensor analysis and…
Each positive increasing integer sequence $\{a_n\}_{n\geq 0}$ can serve as a numeration system to represent each non-negative integer by means of suitable coefficient strings. We analyse the case of $k$-generalized Fibonacci sequences…
The Fibonacci sequence is a series of positive integers in which, starting from $0$ and $1$, every number is the sum of two previous numbers, and the limiting ratio of any two consecutive numbers of this sequence is called the golden ratio.…
Combinatorial number system represents a non-negative natural numbers as sum of binomial coefficients. This paper presents an induction proof that there exists unique representation of every non-negative natural number $m$ as sum of $r$…
The classical Dedekind sums $s(d, c)$ can be represented as sums over the partial quotients of the continued fraction expansion of the rational $\frac{d}{c}$. Hardy sums, the analog integer-valued sums arising in the transformation of the…
We find, in the form of a continued fraction, the generating function for the number of (132)-avoiding permutations that have a given number of (123) patterns, and show how to extend this to permutations that have exactly one (132) pattern.…
Recently, we have proposed a new diffusive representation for fractional derivatives and, based on this representation, suggested an algorithm for their numerical computation. From the construction of the algorithm, it is immediately…
We discuss a general method by which a higher order difference equation on a group is transformed into an equivalent triangular system of two difference equations of lower orders. This breakdown into lower order equations is based on the…
The fundamental properties of biquaternions (complexified quaternions) are presented including several different representations, some of them new, and definitions of fundamental operations such as the scalar and vector parts, conjugates,…
Two approximations, derived from continuous expansions of Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives into series involving integer order derivatives, are studied. Using those series, one can formally transform any problem that contains…
In this paper, we apply results on number systems based on continued fraction expansions to modular arithmetic. We provide two new algorithms in order to compute modular multiplication and modular division. The presented algorithms are…
In this paper, we investigate the representations of rational numbers via continued fraction, Egyptian fraction, and Engel fraction expansions. Given $m \in \mathbb{N}$, denote by $C_m, E_m, E_m^*$ the sets of rational numbers whose…
We study a family of generalized continued fractions, which are defined by a pair of substitution sequences in a finite alphabet. We prove that they are stammering sequences, in the sense of Adamczewski and Bugeaud. We also prove that this…
The distribution of a given sequence in the set of all sequences with n ones and m = M - n zeros are found by relating the problem to the partitions of a natural number in m natural summands, taking into account the order. The formulas…
An exposition on Spivakovsky's dual graphs of valuations on function fields of dimension two is first given, leading to a proof of minimal generating sequences for the non-divisorial valuations. It should be noted that the definition of…
We define a new congruence relation on the set of integers, leading to a group similar to the multiplicative group of integers modulo $n$. It makes use of a symmetry almost omnipresent in modular multiplications and halves the number of…
An application of (iterated) Bauer-Muir acceleration can give an Ap\'ery-like continued fraction for $\pi$ with irrational coefficients, and much faster convergence. It can be considered a generalized continued fraction with the same matrix…
Zaremba's conjecture concerns a formation of continued fraction expansions for rational numbers with partial quotient bounded by an absolute constant. We present asymptotic estimates for the size of $\epsilon$-thickening of certain fractal…
