About statistics of periods of continued fractions of quadratic irrationalities

چکیده
In this paper we answer certain questions posed by V.I. Arnold, namely, we study periods of continued fractions for solutions of quadratic equations in the form x + px = q with integer p and q, p + q ≤ R. Our results concern the average sum of period elements and Gauss–Kuzmin statistics as R → ∞.

On 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 کاملSome aspects of multidimensional continued fraction algorithms
Many kinds of algorithms of continued fraction expansions of dimension s(≥ 2) have been studied starting with K.G.J.Jacobi(1804-1851), for example, see [14]. For s = 1, we know Lagrange’s theorem related to periodic continued fractions and real quadratic irrationals. But, even for real cubic irrationalities, there appeared no suitable algorithms (of dimension 2). In this section, we roughly exp...
متن کاملExponential and Continued Fractions
The continued fraction expansion of a real number is a fundamental and revealing expansion through its connection with Euclidean algorithm and with ``best'' rational approximations (see [HW]). At the same time, it is very poorly understood for some interesting numbers. We know that it is essentially unique and finite (i.e., terminating) exactly for rational numbers and periodic exactly for quad...
متن کاملSymmetries of Quadratic Forms Classes and of Quadratic Surds Continued Fractions. Part Ii: Classification of the Periods’ Palindromes
The continue fractions of quadratic surds are periodic, according to a theorem by Lagrange. Their periods may have differing types of symmetries. This work relates these types of symmetries to the symmetries of the classes of the corresponding indefinite quadratic forms. This allows to classify the periods of quadratic surds and at the same time to find, for an arbitrary indefinite quadratic fo...
متن کاملLocal Rules for Quasicrystals
The relationship of local ordering and long-range order is studied for quasicrystalline tilings of plane and space. Two versions of the concept of local rules are introduced: strong and weak. Necessary conditions of the existence of strong local rules are found. They are mainly reduced to the constraints for irrational numbers related to incommensurabilities of the quasicrystals. For planar qua...
