Commensurable Continued Fractions

چکیده
We compare two families of continued fractions algorithms, the symmetrized Rosen algorithm and the Veech algorithm. Each of these algorithms expands real numbers in terms of certain algebraic integers. We give explicit models of the natural extension of the maps associated with these algorithms; prove that these natural extensions are in fact conjugate to the first return map of the geodesic flow on a related surface; and, deduce that, up to a conjugacy, almost every real number has an infinite number of common approximants for both algorithms.

The connection between continued fractions and orthogonality which is familiar for J-fractions and T -fractions is extended to what we call R-fractions of type I and II. These continued fractions are associated with recurrence relations that correspond to multipoint rational interpolants. A Favard type theorem is proved for each type. We then study explicit models which lead to biorthogonal rat...
متن کاملSimple Continued Fractions and Their Convergents
The article introduces simple continued fractions. They are defined as an infinite sequence of integers. The characterization of rational numbers in terms of simple continued fractions is shown. We also give definitions of convergents of continued fractions, and several important properties of simple continued fractions and their convergents. For simplicity, we adopt the following convention: a...
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 کاملRamanujan and the Regular Continued Fraction Expansion of Real Numbers
In some recent papers, the authors considered regular continued fractions of the form [a0; a, · · · , a } {{ } m , a, · · · , a } {{ } m , a, · · · , a } {{ } m , · · · ], where a0 ≥ 0, a ≥ 2 and m ≥ 1 are integers. The limits of such continued fractions, for general a and in the cases m = 1 and m = 2, were given as ratios of certain infinite series. However, these formulae can be derived from ...
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...
