Abstract

For two natural numbers 1<p1<p21<p_1<p_2, with α=log(p1)log(p2)\alpha = \frac{\log(p_1)}{\log(p_2)} irrational, we describe, in main Theorem Ω\Omega and in Note 1.51.5, the factorization of two adjacent numbers in the multiplicatively closed subset S={p1ip2ji,jN{0}}S = \{p_1^ip_2^j\mid i,j\in \mathbb{N}\cup\{0\}\} using primary and secondary convergents of α\alpha. This suggests general Question 1.21.2 for more than two generators which is still open.
