For a positive real number $t$ , define the harmonic continued fraction $$\begin{eqnarray}\text{HCF}(t)=\biggl[\frac{t}{1},\frac{t}{2},\frac{t}{3},\ldots \biggr].\end{eqnarray}$$ We prove that $$\begin{eqnarray}\text{HCF}(t)=\frac{1}{1-2t(\frac{1}{t+2}-\frac{1}{t+4}+\frac{1}{t+6}-\cdots \,)}.\end{eqnarray}$$

We study generalized continued fraction expansions of the form $$\begin{eqnarray}\frac{a_{1}}{N}\frac{}{+}\frac{a_{2}}{N}\frac{}{+}\frac{a_{3}}{N}\frac{}{+}\frac{}{\cdots },\end{eqnarray}$$ where $N$ is a fixed positive integer and the partial numerators $a_{i}$ are positive integers for all $i$ . We call these expansions $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansions and show that every positive real number has infinitely many $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansions for each $N$ . In particular, we study the $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansions of rational numbers and quadratic irrationals. Finally, we show that every positive real number has, for each $N$ , a $\operatorname{dn}_{N}$ expansion with bounded partial numerators.

A discrete renewal process is a sequence {X4} of independently and inentically distributed random variables which can take on only those values which are positive integral multiples of a positive real number δ. For notational convenience we take δ = 1 and write where .

1. Introduction. Let ω be an irrational number. It is well known that there exists a positive real number h such that the inequality(1)has infinitely many solutions in coprime integers a and c. A theorem of Hurwitz asserts that the set of all such numbers h is a closed set with supremum √5. Various proofs of these results are known, among them one by Ford (1), in which he makes use of properties of the modular group. This approach suggests the following generalization.

Suppose that a sequence of discsarranged in decreasing order of diameters, forms a packing within the unit plane square I2. It has been shown, by Florian(1), that the area ofis at least O(a), where a is the radius of θn. However, Gilbert (2) has produced some empirical results for the Apollonius packing 71 of discs which seem to suggest that for such a packing, the area of the setis at least O(as) for some positive real number s, less than one. As Gilbert remarks, it is difficult to imagine that the Apollonius packing is not the extremal case, and so, that it would seem likely that there exists a positive real number s, less than one, such that for a general packing, the area ofis at least O(as). The purpose of this paper is to establish this result by showing that 0·97 is an allowable value for s.

Let b0 be a positive real number andbe a Jacobi matrix. We can associate with them a Jacobi continued fraction, which will be abbreviated to a J fraction from the next section, as followswhere An(z)/Bn(z) is the n-th Padé approximant of φ(z).

Let (A, B) denote the class of certain p-valent starlike functions. Recently G. Lakshma Reddy and K.S. Padmanabhan [Bull. Austral. Math. Soc. 25 (1982), 387–396] have shown that the function g defined bybelongs to the class (A, B) if f ∈ (A, B). The technique used by them fails when c is any positive real number. In this paper, by employing a more powerful technique, we improve their result to the case when c is any real number such that c ≥ −p(1+A)/(1+B).

AbstractIt is shown, given any positive real number λ and any point (x1, x2, x3) of R3 and any lattice λ R3; that there exists a point (z1, z2, z3) of λ for whichwhich generalizes a theorem due to Remak.

If α is a positive real number then, for each set E in R3, we definewhere U(ρ, E) is any countable collection of convex sets, each of diameter at most ρ, whose union covers E, and Aα is a positive real number. Then the convex α-dimensional measure Λα(E), of E, is . In this paper we shall only be considering the cases α = 1,2 where, as is usual, we take A1 = 1 and A2 = ¼π. The symbols ,Λs(E) will denote the spherical (circular) measure of E, i.e. when the coverings are restricted to being collections of spheres (circles), and E(z) is the intersection of a set E (in R3) with the plane (x, y) at z.

There are various methods of finding the square roots of positive real number. This paper deals with finding the principle square root of positive real numbers by using Lagrange’s and Newton’s interpolation method. The interpolation method is the process of finding the values of unknown quantity (y) between two known quantities.

The aim of this paper is to study the solvability of the following problem, [Formula: see text] where (-Δ)s, with s ∈ (0, 1), is a fractional power of the positive operator -Δ, Ω ⊂ ℝN, N > 2s, is a Lipschitz bounded domain such that 0 ∈ Ω, μ is a positive real number, λ < ΛN,s, the sharp constant of the Hardy–Sobolev inequality, 0 < q < 1 and [Formula: see text], with αλ a parameter depending on λ and satisfying [Formula: see text]. We will discuss the existence and multiplicity of solutions depending on the value of p, proving in particular that p(λ, s) is the threshold for the existence of solution to problem (Pμ).
