A permutation $\pi \in S_n$ is said to {\it avoid} a permutation $\sigma \in S_k$ whenever $\pi$ contains no subsequence with all of the same pairwise comparisons as $\sigma$. For any set $R$ of permutations, we write $S_n(R)$ to denote the…

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…

We establish a combinatorial realization of continued fractions as quotients of cardinalities of sets. These sets are sets of perfect matchings of certain graphs, the snake graphs, that appear naturally in the theory of cluster algebras. To…

We consider a family $\{\tau_m:m\geq 2\}$ of interval maps introduced by Hei-Chi Chan [5] as generalizations of the Gauss transformation. For the continued fraction expansion arising from $\tau_m$, we solve its Gauss-Kuzmin-type problem by…

We consider a family of integer sequences generated by nonlinear recurrences of the second order, which have the curious property that the terms of the sequence, and integer multiples of the ratios of successive terms (which are also…

The author \mbox{(Appl. Math. Comput. 218(3):860-865, 2011)} introduced a new fractional integral operator given by, \[ \big({}^\rho \mathcal{I}^\alpha_{a+}f\big)(x) = \frac{\rho^{1- \alpha }}{\Gamma({\alpha})} \int^x_a \frac{\tau^{\rho-1}…

In [GM] Guibert and Mansour studied involutions on n letters avoiding (or containing exactly once) 132 and avoiding (or containing exactly once) an arbitrary pattern on k letters. They also established a bijection between 132-avoiding…

Recently, Kitaev [Ki2] introduced partially ordered generalized patterns (POGPs) in the symmetric group, which further generalize the generalized permutation patterns introduced by Babson and Steingr\'imsson [BS]. A POGP p is a GP some of…

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…

In this note, we study a family of subgraphs of the Farey graph, denoted as $\mathcal{F}_N$ for every $N\in\mathbb{N}.$ We show that $\mathcal{F}_N$ is connected if and only if $N$ is either equal to one or a prime power. We introduce a…

Recently, A. I. Aptekarev and his collaborators found a sequence of rational approximations to Euler's constant $\gamma$ defined by a third-order homogeneous linear recurrence. In this paper, we give a new interpretation of Aptekarev's…

In this paper, we will describe a new factorization algorithm based on the continuous representation of Gauss sums, generalizable to orders j>2. Such an algorithm allows one, for the first time, to find all the factors of a number N in a…

We introduce a $q$-analog of the higher continued fractions introduced by the last three authors in a previous work (together with Gregg Musiker), which are simultaneously a generalization of the $q$-rational numbers of Morier-Genoud and…

Several authors have examined connections among restricted permutations, continued fractions, and Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. In this paper we prove analogues of these results for involutions which avoid 3412. Our results…

Motivated by the recent proof of the Stanley-Wilf conjecture, we study the asymptotic behavior of the number of permutations avoiding a generalized pattern. Generalized patterns allow the requirement that some pairs of letters must be…

We consider series of the form $$ \frac{p}{q} +\sum_{j=2}^\infty \frac{1}{x_j}, $$ where $x_1=q$ and the integer sequence $(x_n)$ satisfies a certain non-autonomous recurrence of second order, which entails that $x_n|x_{n+1}$ for $n\geq 1$.…

Let $r\geq 3$ be a positive integer and $\mathbb{F}_q$ the finite field with $q$ elements. In this paper, we consider the $r$-regular complete permutation property of maps with the form $f=\tau\circ\sigma_M\circ\tau^{-1}$ where $\tau$ is a…

For \alpha in the interval [0,1], we consider the one-parameter family of \alpha-continued fraction maps, which include the Gauss map (\alpha=1) and the nearest integer (\alpha=1/2) and by-excess (\alpha=0) continued fraction maps. To each…

We state and prove three general formulas allowing to transform formal finite sums into formal continued fractions and apply them to generalize certain expansions in continued fractions given by Hone and Varona.

Let $F_n(k)$ be the generalized Fibonacci number defined by (with $F_i(k)$ abbreviated to $F_i$): $F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2} + \dots + F_{n-k}$, for $n \geq k$, and the initial values $(F_0,F_1,...,F_{k-1})$. Let $B_n(k,j)$ be $F_n(k)$ with…
