Simple Continued Fractions and Their Convergents
The article introduces simple continued fractions. They are defined as an infinite sequence of integers. The characterization of rational numbers in terms of simple continued fractions is shown. We also give definitions of convergents of continued fractions, and several important properties of simple continued fractions and their convergents. For simplicity, we adopt the following convention: a...

متن کاملProblems on periodic simple continued fractions.
Let N be a positive non-square integer and a(1),a(2),...,a(3) be the partial denominators in the period of length s = s(N) of the continued fraction for radicalN. Also let Sigma(N) = a(3) - a(3-1) + -... +/- a(1), and let h(d) be the class-number of Q( radicald). Hirzebruch (unpublished) recently found the surprising theorem (which is a special case of more general results): If p is a prime ide...

متن کاملContinued Fractions for Special Functions: Handbook and Software
The revived interest in continued fractions stems from the fact that many special functions enjoy easy to handle and rapidly converging continued fraction representations. These can be made to good use in a project that envisages the provably correct (or interval) evaluation of these functions. Of course, first a catalogue of these continued fraction representations needs to be put together. Th...
