Blazys Expansions and Continued Fractions
نویسنده
چکیده
A few years ago Don Blazys caused a ripple of excitation among numerologists by presenting a real number which, applying an iterative computation recipe, produced all prime numbers. The procedure is one of an infinity of possible mappings between subsets of real numbers and subsets of integer sequences. In this particular case, the source set is that of irrational real numbers greater than 1, and its image is the set of sequences of non-decreasing natural numbers. It turns out that the mapping, denoted here as bx(x), is a bijection between the two sets, thus enabling the existence of an inverse mapping bf(s) which, in addition, can be cast as a special type of generalized continued fractions. This article presents the definitions, the proofs of the bijection and the pertinent algorithms. It also analyses some simple properties of these mappings.

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 کاملBounding differences in Jager Pairs
Symmetrical subdivisions in the space of Jager Pairs for continued fractions-like expansions will provide us with bounds on their difference. Results will also apply to the classical regular and backwards continued fractions expansions, which are realized as special cases.
متن کاملS - adic expansions related to continued fractions
We consider S-adic expansions associated with continued fraction algorithms, where an S-adic expansion corresponds to an infinite composition of substitutions. Recall that a substitution is a morphism of the free monoid. We focus in particular on the substitutions associated with regular continued fractions (Sturmian substitutions), and with Arnoux–Rauzy, Brun, and Jacobi–Perron (multidimension...
متن کاملThe Unreasonable Effectualness of Continued Function Expansions
The familiar continued fraction expansion of a real number has great importance in its approximation by rational numbers, and the predictable behavior of the continued fractions of certain classes of real numbers has added benefits. For example, the fact that the continued fraction expansion of a rational number terminates is essentially a reexpression of the Euclidean algorithm; also, the peri...
متن کاملA Logical Calculus to Intuitively and Logically Denote Number Systems
Simple continued fractions, base-b expansions, Dedekind cuts and Cauchy sequences are common notations for number systems. In this note, first, it is proven that both simple continued fractions and base-b expansions fail to denote real numbers and thus lack logic; second, it is shown that Dedekind cuts and Cauchy sequences fail to join in algebraical operations and thus lack intuition; third, w...
