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…
First we prove some elementary but useful identities in the group ring of Q/Z. Our identities have potential applications to several unsolved problems which involve sums of Farey fractions. In this paper we use these identities, together…
We obtain a series of estimates on the number of small integers and small order Farey fractions which belong to a given coset of a subgroup of order $t$ of the group of units of the residue ring modulo a prime $p$, in the case when $t$ is…
Let ${F}_{n}$ be the Farey sequence of order $n$. For $S \subseteq {F}_n$ we let $\mathcal{Q}(S) = \left\{x/y:x,y\in S, x\le y \, \, \textrm{and} \, \, y\neq 0\right\}$. We show that if $\mathcal{Q}(S)\subseteq F_n$, then $|S|\leq n+1$.…
Let $A^{(n)}_{l;k}\subset S_n$ denote the set of permutations of $[n]$ for which the set of $l$ consecutive numbers $\{k, k+1,\cdots, k+l-1\}$ appears in a set of consecutive positions. Under the uniformly probability measure $P_n$ on…
In this paper, we prove a criterion for complexity in $g$-ary expansions of a rational fraction $a/b<1$ with gcd$(a,b)=1$. We prove that for any purely periodic proper fraction $a/b$ and all $j\geq 1$, each sequence of $j$ digits occurs in…
In a previous paper, we showed the existence of an uncountable set of points on the unit circle at which the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction does not converge to a finite value. In this present paper, we generalise this result to a…
The quantity $f(n,r)$, defined as the number of permutations of the set $[n]=\{1,2,... n\}$ whose fixed points sum to $r$, shows a sharp discontinuity in the neighborhood of $r=n$. We explain this discontinuity and study the possible…
We introduce the Ceiling Continued Fractions (FCT) framework for constructing three-term Egyptian fraction representations in the Erd\H{o}s-Straus conjecture. The approach exploits divisor structures of shifted integers p+i rather than…
Rational approximations to a square root $\sqrt{k}$ can be produced by iterating the transformation $f(x) = (dx+k)/(x+d)$ starting from $\infty$ for any positive integer $d$. We show that these approximations coincide infinitely often with…
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…
In this paper Euler shows how, if we have recursive functions f,g,h and an infinite sequence A,B,C,... which satisfies fA=gB+hC, f'B=g'C+h'D, f''C=g''D+h''E, f'''D=g'''E+h'''F, etc., where the primes denote an index not a derivative, then…
We introduce here a general framework for studying continued fraction expansions for complex numbers and establish some results on the convergence of the corresponding sequence of convergents. For continued fraction expansions with partial…
Farey's sequence is a well-known procedure used to generate proper fractions from 0 to 1. Farey sequence is commonly used in rational approximations of irrational numbers, ford circles and in Riemann hypothesis. Thus, in this paper, we aim…
We consider the set of monic irreducible polynomials $P$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ such that the multiplicative order modulo $P$ of some a in $\mathbb{F}_q(T)$ is divisible by a fixed positive integer $d$. Call $R_q(a,d)$ this set.…
$\renewcommand{\Re}{\mathbb{R}}$Given a set $P$ of $n$ points in $\Re^d$, consider the problem of computing $k$ subsets of $P$ that form clusters that are well-separated from each other, and each of them is large (cardinality wise). We…
A new matrix operation based on inserting columns and rows, similarly to the mediant operation between fractions, gives rise to the Farey determinants matrix or, equivalently, the matrix of the numerators of the differences of Farey…
We consider two classes of $q$-continued fraction whose odd and even parts are limit 1-periodic for $|q|>1$, and give theorems which guarantee the convergence of the continued fraction, or of its odd- and even parts, at points outside the…
We prove that the set of Farey fractions of order $T$, that is, the set $\{\alpha/\beta \in \Q : \gcd(\alpha, \beta) = 1, 1 \le \alpha, \beta \le T\}$, is uniformly distributed in residue classes modulo a prime $p$ provided $T \ge p^{1/2…
Continued fractions are linked to Stern's diatomic sequence 0,1,1,2,1,3,2,3,1,4,... (given by the recursion relation a_2n=a_n and a_{2n+1} = a_n + a_{n+1}, where a_0=0 and a_1=1), which has long been known. Using a particular…
