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 Hirzebruch (unpublished) recently found the surprising theorem (which is a special case of more general results): If p is a prime ide...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 کاملOptimal Error Bounds for Convergents of a Family of Continued Fractions
Ž . Let F be the family of continued fractions K a r1 , where a s yg , a s p 1 1 p Ž . < < 1 y g g x , p s 2, 3, . . . , with 0 F g F 1, g fixed, and x F 1, p s py1 p p p p p 2, 3, . . . . In this work, we derive upper bounds on the errors in the convergents of Ž . K a r1 that are uniform for F, and optimal in the sense that they are attained by p some continued fraction in F. For the special c...
متن کاملAsymptotics and Sequential Closures of Continued Fractions and Their Generalizations
Given a sequence of complex square matrices, an, consider the sequence of their partial products, defined by pn = pn−1an. What can be said about the asymptotics as n → ∞ of the sequence f(pn), where f is a continuous function? A special case of our most general result addresses this question under the assumption that the matrices an are an l1 perturbation of a sequence of matrices with bounded ...
