We consider expansions of vectors by a general class of multidimensional continued fraction algorithms. If the expansion is eventually periodic, then we describe the possible structure of a matrix corresponding to the repetend, and use it…

The paper examines the structure of the periodic continued fraction for $\sqrt{d}$ and gives formulae for the central term as well as the repeated partial quotients occurring in its period.

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…

Let $\beta > 1$ be a real number and $x \in [0,1)$ be an irrational number. Denote by $k_n(x)$ the exact number of partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of $x$ given by the first $n$ digits in the $\beta$-expansion of $x$…

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…

By using a jump transformation associated to the Romik map, we define a new continued fraction algorithm called odd-odd continued fraction, whose principal convergents are rational numbers of odd denominators and odd numerators. Among…

Multidimensional continued fractions (MCFs) were introduced by Jacobi and Perron in order to obtain periodic representations for algebraic irrationals, as it is for continued fractions and quadratic irrationals. Since continued fractions…

The classical continued fraction is generalized for studying the rational approximation problem on multi-formal Laurent series in this paper, the construction is called m-continued fraction. It is proved that the approximants of an…

For integers $m \geq 2$, we study divergent continued fractions whose numerators and denominators in each of the $m$ arithmetic progressions modulo $m$ converge. Special cases give, among other things, an infinite sequence of divergence…

We present a rigorous analytic proof of a generalized continued fraction (GCF) identity for the transcendental constant $8/\pi^2$, a result recently conjectured via the algorithmic framework of the Ramanujan Machine. Distinct from canonical…

We prove that the sequence of the last nonzero digits of factorials in every integer base $b>2$ is not eventually periodic. We also extend the Adamczewski--Bugeaud criterion, originally formulated for integer base expansions, to Cantor base…

The notion of 'bifurcating continued fractions' is introduced. Two coupled sequences of non-negative integers are obtained from an ordered pair of positive real numbers in a manner that generalizes the notion of continued fractions. These…

The aim of this note is to show the existence of a correspondance between certain algebraic continued fractions in fields of power series over a finite field and automatic sequences in the same finite field. this connection is illustrated…

We show several properties related to the structure of the family of classes of two-dimensional periodic continued fractions. This approach to the study of the family of classes of nonequivalent two dimexsional periodic continued fractions…

Let $K$ be a number field. We show that, up to allowing a finite set of denominators in the partial quotients, it is possible to define algorithms for $\mathfrak P$-adic continued fractions satisfying the finiteness property on $K$ for…

We consider sets of real numbers in $[0,1)$ with prescribed frequencies of partial quotients in their regular continued fraction expansions. It is shown that the Hausdorff dimensions of these sets, always bounded from below by $1/2$, are…

While Roth's theorem states that the irrationality measure of all the irrational algebraic numbers is 2, and the same holds true over function fields in characteristic zero, some counter-examples were found over function fields in positive…

We ask, for which $n$ does there exists a $k$, $1 \leq k < n$ and $(k,n)=1$, so that $k/n$ has a continued fraction whose partial quotients are bounded in average by a constant $B$? This question is intimately connected with several other…

We look at the rate of growth of the partial quotients of the infinite continued fraction expansion of an irrational number relative to the rate of approximation of the number by its convergents. In non-generic cases the Hausdorff dimension…

An Engel series is a sum of reciprocals $\sum_{j\geq 1} 1/x_j$ of a non-decreasing sequence of positive integers $x_n$ with the property that $x_n$ divides $x_{n+1}$ for all $n\geq 1$. In previous work, we have shown that for any Engel…
