Construction of Families of Long Continued Fractions Revisited
نویسنده
چکیده
In this survey article, we revisit construction of simple continued fractions of quadratic irrationals with long period lengths, which has generated much interest in the relatively recent literature. We show that new and not-sonew results actually follow from results of Perron in the 1950s and from results of this author from over a decade ago. Moreover, we are able to generalize and simplify numerous such results for a better understanding of the phenomenon. This continues work in [7]–[12].

Constructing Families of Long Continued Fractions
This paper describes a method of constructing an unlimited number of infinite families of continued fraction expansions of the square root of D, an integer. The periods of these continued fractions all have identifiable sub patterns repeated a number of times according to certain parameters. For example, it is possible to construct an explicit family for the square root of D(k, l) where the per...
متن کاملSome New Families of Tasoevian- and Hurwitzian Continued Fractions
We derive closed-form expressions for several new classes of Hurwitzianand Tasoevian continued fractions, including [0; p− 1, 1, u(a + 2nb)− 1, p− 1, 1, v(a + (2n + 1)b)− 1 ]n=0, [0; c + dmn]n=1 and [0; eun, fvn] ∞ n=1. One of the constructions used to produce some of these continued fractions can be iterated to produce both Hurwitzianand Tasoevian continued fractions of arbitrary long quasi-pe...
متن کاملIranian EFL Learners’ Motivation Construction: Integrative Motivation Revisited
Although Gardner and his associates’ work was most influential in the field of L2 motivation, from the early 1990s onwards, their work has been criticized for several reasons. Some researchers claimed that integrative and instrumental orientations were no longer able to convey the complexity of the L2 motivation construct. To examine this complexity, the present study attempted to investigate t...
متن کاملSome More Long Continued Fractions, I
In this paper we show how to construct several infinite families of polynomials D(x̄, k), such that p D(x̄, k) has a regular continued fraction expansion with arbitrarily long period, the length of this period being controlled by the positive integer parameter k. We also describe how to quickly compute the fundamental units in the corresponding real quadratic fields.
متن کاملGeneration of Digital Planes Using Generalized Continued-Fractions Algorithms
We investigate a construction scheme for digital planes that is guided by generalized continued fractions algorithms. This process generalizes the recursive construction of digital lines to dimension three. Given a pair of numbers, Euclid’s algorithm provides a natural definition of continued fractions. In dimension three and above, there is no such canonical definition. We propose a pair of hy...
