We show how a commutative monad gives rise to a theory of extensive quantities, including (under suitable further conditions) a differential calculus of such. The relationship to Schwartz distributions is dicussed. The paper is a companion…
An Engel series is a sum of the reciprocals of an increasing sequence of positive integers, which is such that each term is divisible by the previous one. Here we consider a particular class of Engel series, for which each term of the…
We consider elliptic partial differential equations with diffusion coefficients that depend affinely on countably many parameters. We study the summability properties of polynomial expansions of the function mapping parameter values to…
The direct calculation of the Generalized operator entropy proves difficult by the appearance of rational exponents of matrices. The main motivation of this work is to overcome these difficulties and to present a practical and efficient…
The connection between continued fractions and orthogonality which is familiar for $J$-fractions and $T$-fractions is extended to what we call $R$-fractions of type I and II. These continued fractions are associated with recurrence…
In this paper we study the geodesic continued fraction in the case of the Shimura curve coming from the $(2,3,7)$-triangle group. We construct a certain continued fraction expansion of real numbers using the so-called coding of the…
It is known, that for every elliptic curve over Q there exists a quadratic extension in which the rank does not go up. For a large class of elliptic curves, the same is known with the rank replaced by the 2-Selmer group. We show, however,…
The present paper is in a sense a continuation of \cite{PLS}, it relies on the notation and some results. The problem tackled in both papers is the nature of the continued fraction expansion of $\sqrt[3]{2}$: are the partial quotients…
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…
Given a sequence of complex numbers {\rho}_n, we study the asymptotic distribution of the sets of parameters c {\epsilon} C such that the quadratic maps z^2 +c has a cycle of period n and multiplier {\rho}_n. Assume 1/n.log|{\rho}_n| tends…
Given a positive integer $N$ and $x$ irrational between zero and one, an $N$-continued fraction expansion of $x$ is defined analogously to the classical continued fraction expansion, but with the numerators being all equal to $N$. Inspired…
In this paper we study certain real functions defined in a very simple way by Zagier as sums of infinite powers of quadratic polynomials with integer coefficients. These functions give the even parts of the period polynomials of the modular…
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.
We prove a result on the distribution of the general divisor functions in arithmetic progressions to smooth moduli which exceed the square root of the length.
In this partly expository paper, we discuss three results. (1) That the two-sided continued fraction of the normalized square root (an important part of the SQUFOF algorithm) has several very attractive properties - periodicity, a symmetry…
In this work we prove a criterion for an algebraic continued fraction to have a proper palindromic symmetry in dimension $4$. As a multidimensional generalization of continued fractions, we consider Klein polyhedra.
We study quadratic approximations for two families of hyperquadratic continued fractions in the field of Laurent series over a finite field. As the first application, we give the answer to a question of the second author concerning…
For each positive integer n greater than or equal to 2, a new approach to expressing real numbers as sequences of nonnegative integers is given. The n=2 case is equivalent to the standard continued fraction algorithm. For n=3, it reduces to…
We give continued fraction expansions of the generating functions of Bernoulli numbers, Cauchy numbers, Euler numbers, harmonic numbers, and their generalized or related numbers. In particular, we focus on explicit forms of the convergents…
For a fixed integer N, and fixed numbers b_1,...,b_N, we consider sequences, the nth term (a_n) of which is the sum of the squares of the terms in the expansion of (b_1 + ... + b_N)^n. In the case all b_i=1, we give a formula for a…
