Necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence of integer continued fractions

نویسندگان

چکیده

Fundamental to the theory of continued fractions is fact that every infinite fraction with positive integer coefficients converges; however, it unknown precisely which (not necessarily positive) converge. Here we present a simple test determines whether an converges or diverges. In addition, for convergent specifies limit rational irrational. An attractive way visualise model them as paths on Farey graph, graph embedded in hyperbolic plane induces tessellation by ideal triangles. With this geometric representation our convergence can be interpreted particularly elegant manner, giving deeper insight into nature convergence.

Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Linear Convergence of `1-Regularization

Motivated from the theoretical and practical results in compressed sensing, efforts have been undertaken by the inverse problems community to derive analogous results, for instance linear convergence rates, for Tikhonov regularization with `1-penalty term for the solution of ill-posed equations. Conceptually, the main difference between these two fields is that regularization in general is an u...

Necessary and sufficient conditions for parameter convergence in adaptive control

-Using Generalized Harmonic Analysis, a complete description of parameter convergence in Model Reference Adaptive Control (MRAC) is given in terms of the spectrum of the exogenous reference input signal. Roughly speaking, if the reference signal "contains enough frequencies" then the parameter vector converges to its correct value. If not, it converges to an easily characterizable subspace in p...

Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Copositive Tensors

In this paper, it is proved that a symmetric tensor is (strictly) copositive if and only if each of its principal subtensors has no (non-positive) negative H++-eigenvalue. Necessary and sufficient conditions for (strict) copositivity of a symmetric tensor are also given in terms of Z++-eigenvalues of the principal sub-tensors of that tensor. This presents a method for testing (strict) copositiv...
