Constructing Families of Long Continued Fractions
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 period of the continued fraction has length 2kl − 2. The method is recursive and additional parameters controlling the length can be added.

Some 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 کاملConstruction of Families of Long Continued Fractions Revisited
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 n...
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 کاملConstructing multidimensional periodic continued fractions in the sense of Klein
We consider the geometric generalization of ordinary continued fraction to the multidimensional case introduced by F. Klein in 1895. A multidimensional periodic continued fraction is the union of sails with some special group acting freely on these sails. This group transposes the faces. In this article, we present a method of constructing “approximate” fundamental domains of algebraic multidim...
متن کاملNormic continued fractions in totally and tamely ramified extensions of local fields
The goal of this paper is to introduce a new way of constructing continued fractions in a Galois, totally and tamely ramified extension of local fields. We take a set of elements of a special form using the norm of that extension and we show that the set such defined is dense in the field by the means of continued fractions.
