This paper presents a stochastic approach to theorems concerning the behavior of iterations of the Bernstein operator $B_n$ taking a continuous function $f \in C[0,1]$ to a degree-$n$ polynomial when the number of iterations $k$ tends to…
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…
Let x be a quadratic irrational and let P be the set of prime numbers. We show the existence of an infinite subset S of P such that the statistics of the period of the continued fraction expansions along the sequence {px: p\in S} approach…
Kitaev, Liese, Remmel, and Sagan recently defined generalized factor order on words comprised of letters from a partially ordered set $(P, \leq_P)$ by setting $u \leq_P w$ if there is a subword $v$ of $w$ of the same length as $u$ such that…
We explore a bijection between permutations and colored Motzkin paths that has been used in different forms by Foata and Zeilberger, Biane, and Corteel. By giving a visual representation of this bijection in terms of so-called cycle…
I present and discuss an extremely simple algorithm for expanding a formal power series as a continued fraction. This algorithm, which goes back to Euler (1746) and Viscovatov (1805), deserves to be better known. I also discuss the…
A natural generalization of single pattern avoidance is subset avoidance. A complete study of subset avoidance for the case k=3 is carried out in [SS]. For k>3 situation becomes more complicated, as the number of possible cases grows…
In this short note we prove two elegant generalized continued fraction formulae $$e= 2+\cfrac{1}{1+\cfrac{1}{2+\cfrac{2}{3+\cfrac{3}{4+\ddots}}}}$$ and $$e= 3+\cfrac{-1}{4+\cfrac{-2}{5+\cfrac{-3}{6+\cfrac{-4}{7+\ddots}}}}$$ using elementary…
A {\it two-dimensional continued fraction expansion} is a map $\mu$ assigning to every $x \in\mathbb R^2\setminus\mathbb Q^2$ a sequence $\mu(x)=T_0,T_1,\dots$ of triangles $T_n$ with vertices $x_{ni}=(p_{ni}/d_{ni},q_{ni}/d_{ni})\in\mathbb…
Let A_0, A_1 be nonnegative matrices in GL(n+1,Z) such that the subsimplexes A_0[Delta], A_1[Delta] split the standard unit n-dimensional simplex Delta in two. We prove that, for every n=1,2,... and up to the natural action of the symmetric…
Analytical expressions are derived for the number of fractions with equal numerators in the Farey sequence of order $n$, $F_n$, and in the truncated Farey sequence $F_n^{1/k}$ containing all Farey fractions below $1/k$, with $1\leq k \leq…
Given a sequence of complex square matrices, $a_n$, consider the sequence of their partial products, defined by $p_n=p_{n-1}a_{n}$. What can be said about the asymptotics as $n\to\infty$ of the sequence $f(p_n)$, where $f$ is a continuous…
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 define and study positional marked patterns, permutations $\tau$ where one of elements in $\tau$ is underlined. Given a permutation $\sigma$, we say that $\sigma$ has a $\tau$-match at position $i$ if $\tau$ occurs in $\sigma$ in such a…
Not long ago, Claesson and Mansour proposed some conjectures about the enumeration of the permutations avoiding more than three Babson - Steingr\'\i msson patterns (generalized patterns of type $(1,2)$ or $(2,1)$). The avoidance of one, two…
We use the rationality of the generalized $h^{th}$ convergent functions, $Conv_h(\alpha, R; z)$, to the infinite J-fraction expansions enumerating the generalized factorial product sequences, $p_n(\alpha, R) =…
In this paper we recall some results and some criteria on the convergence of matrix continued fractions. The aim of this paper is to give some properties and results of continued fractions with matrix arguments. Then we give continued…
In the theory of continued fractions, Zaremba's conjecture states that there is a positive integer $M$ such that each integer is the denominator of a convergent of an ordinary continued fraction with partial quotients bounded by $M$. In…
Many combinatorial numbers can be placed in the following generalized triangular array $[T_{n,k}]_{n,k\ge 0}$ satisfying the recurrence relation: \begin{equation*}…
A widely used approach to compute the action $f(A)v$ of a matrix function $f(A)$ on a vector $v$ is to use a rational approximation $r$ for $f$ and compute $r(A)v$ instead. If $r$ is not computed adaptively as in rational Krylov methods,…
