On the Maillet–baker Continued Fractions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use the Schmidt Subspace Theorem to establish the transcendence of a class of quasi-periodic continued fractions. This improves earlier works of Maillet and of A. Baker. We also improve an old result of Davenport and Roth on the rate of increase of the denominators of the convergents to any real algebraic number.

Palindromic continued fractions
An old problem adressed by Khintchin [15] deals with the behaviour of the continued fraction expansion of algebraic real numbers of degree at least three. In particular, it is asked whether such numbers have or not arbitrarily large partial quotients in their continued fraction expansion. Although almost nothing has been proved yet in this direction, some more general speculations are due to La...
متن کاملOn the real quadratic fields with certain continued fraction expansions and fundamental units
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the real quadratic number fields $Q(sqrt{d})$ which contain the specific form of the continued fractions expansions of integral basis element where $dequiv 2,3( mod 4)$ is a square free positive integer. Besides, the present paper deals with determining the fundamental unit$$epsilon _{d}=left(t_d+u_dsqrt{d}right) 2left.right > 1$$and $n_d$ and $m_d...
متن کاملA Symplectic Structure for String Theory on Integrable Backgrounds
We define regularised Poisson brackets for the monodromy matrix of classical string theory on R × S 3. The ambiguities associated with Non-Ultra Locality are resolved using the symmetrisation prescription of Maillet. The resulting brackets lead to an infinite tower of Poisson-commuting conserved charges as expected in an integrable system. The brackets are also used to obtain the correct symple...
متن کاملThe Euclidean algorithm and finite continued fractions
Fowler [22] Measure theory of continued fractions: Einsiedler and Ward [19, Chapter 3] and Iosifescu and Kraaikamp [35, Chapter 1]. In harmonic analysis and dynamical systems, we usually care about infinite continued fractions because we usually care about the Lebesgue measure of a set defined by some conditions on the convergents or partial quotients of a continued fraction. For some questions...
متن کاملOn multidimensional generalization of the Lagrange theorem on continued fractions ∗
We prove a multidimensional analogue of the classical Lagrange theorem on continued fractions. As a multidimensional generalization of continued fractions we use Klein polyhedra.
