It is well known that if $0.a_1a_2a_3\dots$ is the base-$b$ expansion of a number normal to base-$b$, then the numbers $0.a_ka_{m+k}a_{2m+k}\dots$ for $m\ge 2$, $k\ge 1$ are all normal to base-$b$ as well. In contrast, given a continued…

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…

Continued fractions whose elements are polynomial sequences have been carefully studied mostly in the cases where the degree of the numerator polynomial is less than or equal to two and the degree of the denominator polynomial is less than…

Let $f(x)$ be a square free quartic polynomial defined over a quadratic field $K$ such that its leading coefficient is a square. If the continued fraction expansion of $\displaystyle \sqrt{f(x)}$ is periodic, then its period $n$ lies in the…

In this short note, we give a proof, conditional on the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis, that there exist numbers x which are normal with respect to the continued fraction expansion but not to any base b expansion. This partially answers a…

In 2021, Brock, Elkies, and Jordan generalized the theory of periodic continued fractions (PCFs) over $\mathbb{Z}$ to the ring of integers in a number field. In particular, they considered the case where the number field is an intermediate…

Let $\omega=[a_1, a_2, \cdots]$ be the infinite expansion of continued fraction for an irrational number $\omega \in (0,1)$; let $R_n (\omega)$ (resp. $R_{n, \, k} (\omega)$, $R_{n, \, k+} (\omega)$) be the number of distinct partial…

We study the continued fractions with bounded odd/even-order partial quotients. In particular, we investigate the sizes of the sets of continued fractions whose odd-order partial quotients are equal to 1. We demonstrate that the sum and the…

Let $[a_1(x),a_2(x),a_3(x),\cdots]$ be the continued fraction expansion of $x\in (0,1)$. This paper is concerned with certain sets of continued fractions with non-decreasing partial quotients. As a main result, we obtain the Hausdorff…

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 $n\geq 1$.…

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…

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…

Let $x=[a_1(x),a_2(x),\ldots]$ be the continued fraction expansion of $x\in[0,1)$. We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of \begin{equation*}E_{even}=\{x\in[0,1)\colon a_{2n}(x)\to\infty\ (n\to\infty)\}.\end{equation*} is 1/2. In general,…
