Adler, Keane, and Smorodinsky showed that if one concatenates the finite continued fraction expansions of the sequence of rationals \[ \frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{2}{3}, \frac{1}{4}, \frac{2}{4}, \frac{3}{4}, \frac{1}{5}, \cdots \] into…
Quadratic irrationals posses a periodic continued fraction expansion. Much less is known about cubic irrationals. We do not even know if the partial quotients are bounded, even though extensive computations suggest they might follow…
We establish Hermite expansion characterizations for several subspaces of the Fr\'{e}chet space of functions on the real line satisfying \begin{equation*} |f(x)| \lesssim e^{-(\frac{1}{2} - \lambda ) x^{2}} , \qquad | \widehat{f}(\xi )|…
The goal of this expository article is to present a proof that is as direct and elementary as possible of the fundamental theorem of complex multiplication (Shimura, Taniyama, Langlands, Tate, Deligne et al.). The article is a revision of…
A short, fairly self-contained proof is given of the Poincar\'e Conjecture. In the previous version there was an error on Page 8. This gap has now been filled.
The classical theory of continued fractions has been widely studied for centuries for its important properties of good approximation, and more recently it has been generalized to $p$-adic numbers where it presents many differences with…
We detail the continued fraction expansion of the square root of a monic polynomials of even degree. We note that each step of the expansion corresponds to addition of the divisor at infinity, and interpret the data yielded by the general…
We study the distribution of the extended binomial coefficients by deriving a complete asymptotic expansion with uniform error terms. We obtain the expansion from a local central limit theorem and we state all coefficients explicitly as…
In Entry 16, Chapter 16 of his notebooks, Ramanujan himself gave a formula for the convergents of the famous Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction. We provide a similar formula for the convergents of a more general continued fraction, namely…
In this paper, we prove that the period of the continued fraction expansion of ${\sqrt {2^{n}+1}}$ tends to infinity when $n$ tends to infinity through odd positive integers.
The aim of this short note is to provide a very simple proof for obtaining the fundamental two-term transformation for the series ${}_3F_2(1)$ due to Thomae.
In this paper, we present an improved continued fraction approximation of the Wallis ratio. This approximation is fast in comparison with the recently discovered asymptotic series. We also establish the double-side inequality related to…
This paper is a short survey of the recent results on examples of periodic two-dimensional continued fractions (in Klein's model). In the last part of this paper we formulate some questions, problems and conjectures on geometrical…
Casually introduced thirty years ago, a simple algebraic equation of degree 4, with coefficients in Fp[T], has a solution in the field of power series in 1/T, over the finite field Fp. For each prime p > 3, the continued fraction expansion…
In this paper we show how to construct several infinite families of polynomials $D(\bar{x},k)$, such that $\sqrt{D(\bar{x},k)}$ has a regular continued fraction expansion with arbitrarily long period, the length of this period being…
In this article we generalize Borel's classical approximation results for the regular continued fraction expansion to the alpha-Rosen fraction expansion, using a geometric method. We give a Haas-Series-type result about all possible good…
We obtain a power saving in the error term for a semigroup congruence lattice point count related to continued fractions. This is done by adapting arguments from recent work of Oh and Winter (2014) that give uniform bounds for certain…
This short note delivers, via elementary calculations, a product representation of pi.
Carlitz proved a few generalizations of Mehler's formula. Later, Srivastava et al. gave a new proof for some extensions of Carlitz's formula. Here, a direct proof of the further generalization is given.
I give an elementary proof of Wall's continued-fraction characterization of Hausdorff moment sequences.
