On consecutive Farey arcs II

A Note on Boolean Lattices and Farey Sequences. Ii

We establish monotone bijections between subsequences of the Farey sequences and the halfsequences of Farey subsequences associated with elements of the Boolean lattices.

On Mathon's construction of maximal arcs in Desarguesian planes II

In a recent paper [M], Mathon gives a new construction of maximal arcs which generalizes the construction of Denniston. In relation to this construction, Mathon asks the question of determining the largest degree of a non-Denniston maximal arc arising from his new construction. In this paper, we give a nearly complete answer to this problem. Specifically, we prove that when m ≥ 5 and m 6= 9, th...

On the Index of Farey Sequences

For any two consecutive Farey fractions γi = ai/qi < γi+1 = ai+1/qi+1, one has ai+1qi − aiqi+1 = 1 and qi + qi+1 > Q. Conversely, if q and q ′ are two coprime integers in {1, . . . , Q} with q + q > Q, then there are unique a ∈ {1, . . . , q} and a ∈ {1, . . . , q} for which aq − aq = 1, and a/q < a/q are consecutive Farey fractions of order Q. Therefore, the pairs of coprime integers (q, q) wi...

Farey Curves

^nr", Hn , INTRODUCTION 4. Observations and Questions References Consider the family of quadratic polynomials PA : C —> C, where A is a complex number with |A| < 1, defined by Px(z) = Xz + z. We will examine this polynomial from a dynamical point of view; that is, we will be interested in its behaviour under iteration. The first observation is that the polynomial Px has a fixed point at zero: P...
