The Calkin-Wilf tree is an infinite binary tree whose vertices are the positive rational numbers. Each number occurs in the tree exactly once and in the form $a/b$, where are $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. For every…
The Calkin-Wilf tree is an infinite binary tree whose vertices are the positive rational numbers. Each number occurs in the tree exactly once and in the form $a/b$, where are $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. In this…
In this note we discuss trees similar to the Calkin-Wilf tree, a binary tree that enumerates all positive rational numbers in a simple way. The original construction of Calkin and Wilf is reformulated in a more algebraic language, and an…
We examine statistical properties of the Calkin--Wilf tree and give number-theoretical applications.
A hyperbinary expansion of a positive integer n is a partition of n into powers of 2 in which each part appears at most twice. In this paper, we consider a generalization of this concept and a certain statistic on the corresponding set of…
Let $n,p,k$ be three positive integers. We prove that the rational fractions of $q$: $${n \brack k}_{q} {}_3\phi_{2} [ . {matrix}q^{1-k},q^{-p},q^{p-n} q,q^{1-n} {matrix}| q;q^{k+1}]\quad\textrm{and}\quad q^{(n-p)p}\qbi{n}{k}{q} {}_3\phi_2[…
We give two trees allowing to represent all positive rational numbers. These trees can be seen as ternary and quinary analogues of the Calkin-Wilf tree. For each of these two trees, we give recurrence formulas allowing to compute the…
The Calkin-Wilf tree is an infinite binary tree whose vertices are the positive rational numbers. Each such number occurs in the tree exactly once and in the form $a/b$, where are $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. This…
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…
There are two well-known ways to enumerate the positive rational numbers in an infinite binary tree: the Farey/Stern-Brocot tree and the Calkin-Wilf tree. In this brief note, we describe these two trees as `transpose shadows' of a tree of…
In this study, we explore a novel approach to demonstrate the countability of rational numbers and illustrate the relationship between the Calkin-Wilf tree and the Stern-Brocot tree in a more intuitive manner. By employing a growth pattern…
For a given quadratic irrational $\alpha$, let us denote by $D(\alpha)$ the length of the periodic part of the continued fraction expansion of $\alpha$. We prove that for a positive integer $d$, which is not a perfect square, the sequence…
Clemm and Trebat-Leder (2014) proved that the number of quadratic number fields with absolute discriminant bounded by $x$ over which there exist elliptic curves with good reduction everywhere and rational $j$-invariant is $\gg…
Continued fractions in the field of $p$--adic numbers have been recently studied by several authors. It is known that the real continued fraction of a positive quadratic irrational is eventually periodic (Lagrange's Theorem). It is still…
We consider integer sequences that satisfy a recursion of the form $x_{n+1} = P(x_n)$ for some polynomial $P$ of degree $d > 1$. If such a sequence tends to infinity, then it satisfies an asymptotic formula of the form $x_n \sim A…
In a paper published by this author in www.academia.edu(see reference[3]), it was established that there exist no three positive integers which are consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression; and whose sum of squares is a perfect or…
We show that all perfect odd integer squares not divisible by 3, can be usefully written as sqrt(N) = a + 18p, where the constant a is determined by the basic properties of N. The equation can be solved deterministically by an efficient…
Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt[n]{a})$ be an extension of degree $n$ of the field $\Q$ of rational numbers, where the integer $a$ is such that for each prime $p$ dividing $n$ either $p\nmid a$ or the highest power of $p$ dividing $a$ is coprime to…
In this article, we present a binary tree with vertices given by rational functions $p(x)/q(x)$; the root and functional derivation of children are inspired by continued fractions. We prove some special properties of the tree. For example,…
Prime numbers play a key role in number theory and have applications beyond Mathematics. In particular, in the Theory of Codes and also in Cryptography, the properties of prime numbers are relevant, because, from them, it is possible to…
