Astronomical Refraction

A continued fraction was derived for the summation of the asymptotic expansion of astronomical refraction. Using simple approximations for the last denominator of the fraction, accurate formulae, useful down to the horizon, were obtained. The method is not restricted to any model of the atmosphere and can thus be used in calculations based on actual aerological measurements.

Absolutely Continuous Invariant

We investigate the efficiency of several types of continued fraction expansions of a number in the unit interval using a generalization of Lochs theorem from 1964. Thus, we aim to compare the efficiency by describing the rate at which the digits of one number-theoretic expansion determine those of another. We study Chan’s continued fractions, θ-expansions, N-continued fractions, and Rényi-type continued fractions. A central role in fulfilling our goal is played by the entropy of the absolutely continuous invariant probability measures of the associated dynamical systems.

Complex Continued Fractions

The Hurwitz complex continued fraction is a generalization of the nearest integer continued fraction. In this paper, we prove various results concerning extremes of the modulus of Hurwitz complex continued fraction digits. This includes a Poisson law and an extreme value law. The results are based on cusp estimates of the invariant measure about which information is still limited. In the process, we obtained several results concerning the extremes of nearest integer continued fractions as well.

For the $q$-tangent function introduced by Foata and Han (this volume) we provide the continued fraction expansion, by creative guessing and a routine verification. Then an even more recent $q$-tangent function due to Cieslinski is also expanded. Lastly, a general version is considered that contains both versions as special cases.

The subject of this paper is the current state of art in theory of continued fractions, intermediate fractions and their relation to the best rational approximations of the first and second kind. The paper provides an overview of the some well known and even some new properties of continued fractions, and the various terms associated with them. In addition to intermediate fractions, paper considers the fine intermediate fractions and gave some statements to position these fractions in the continued fraction representation of numbers.

Branched Continued Fraction

In this paper, we investigate the convergence of multidimensional regular С-fractions with independent variables, which are a multidimensional generalization of regular С-fractions. These branched continued fractions are an efficient tool for the approximation of multivariable functions, which are represented by formal multiple power series. We have shown that the intersection of the interior of the parabola and the open disk is the domain of convergence of a multidimensional regular С-fraction with independent variables. And, in addition, we have shown that the interior of the parabola is the domain of convergence of a branched continued fraction, which is reciprocal to the multidimensional regular С-fraction with independent variables.

In order to solve the most important problem of the fractional calculus (FC) application, the realization of analog circuit of fractance, continued fraction theory is applied to design the -1/2n order analog fractance approximation circuit. The author presents a network function of ideal fractance and decomposes it in continued fractions (CFs) form to obtain the corresponding analog fractance approximation circuit. The new circuit consists of ordinary passive RC component through network synthesis method. Simulations are performed for the verification of the new circuit. Experimental evidence has proved that the performance of novel -1/2n order analog fractance approximation circuit is good in both amplitude-frequency response and phase-frequency response.

The Absolute

The purpose of this paper is to give conditions under which the absolute convergence of the subsequence of odd or of even approximants to a continued fraction implies convergence of the continued fraction. In § 2 we consider the problem in general, and in § 3 we impose a condition which gives absolute convergence of the odd or of the even part of the continued fraction and state conditions which imply convergence of the continued fraction.

AbstractGiven a sequence of polynomials$\{x_k(q)\}_{k \ges 0}$, define the transformation$$y_n(q) = a^n\sum\limits_{i = 0}^n {\left( \matrix{n \cr i} \right)} b^{n-i}x_i(q)$$for$n\ges 0$. In this paper, we obtain the relation between the Jacobi continued fraction of the ordinary generating function ofyn(q) and that ofxn(q). We also prove that the transformation preservesq-TPr+1(q-TP) property of the Hankel matrix$[x_{i+j}(q)]_{i,j \ges 0}$, in particular forr= 2,3, implying ther-q-log-convexity of the sequence$\{y_n(q)\}_{n\ges 0}$. As applications, we can give the continued fraction expressions of Eulerian polynomials of typesAandB, derangement polynomials typesAandB, general Eulerian polynomials, Dowling polynomials and Tanny-geometric polynomials. In addition, we also prove the strongq-log-convexity of derangement polynomials typeB, Dowling polynomials and Tanny-geometric polynomials and 3-q-log-convexity of general Eulerian polynomials, Dowling polynomials and Tanny-geometric polynomials. We also present a new proof of the result of Pólya and Szegö about the binomial convolution preserving the Stieltjes moment property and a new proof of the result of Zhu and Sun on the binomial transformation preserving strongq-log-convexity.

AbstractWe prove the existence of the limiting distribution for the sequence of denominators generated by continued fraction expansions with even partial quotients, which were introduced by Schweiger [Continued fractions with odd and even partial quotients. Arbeitsberichte Math. Institut Universtät Salzburg4 (1982), 59–70; On the approximation by continues fractions with odd and even partial quotients. Arbeitsberichte Math. Institut Universtät Salzburg1–2 (1984), 105–114] and studied also by Kraaikamp and Lopes [The theta group and the continued fraction expansion with even partial quotients. Geom. Dedicata59(3) (1996), 293–333]. Our main result is proven following the strategy used by Sinai and Ulcigrai [Renewal-type limit theorem for the Gauss map and continued fractions. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.28 (2008), 643–655] in their proof of a similar renewal-type theorem for Euclidean continued fraction expansions and the Gauss map. The main steps in our proof are the construction of a natural extension of a Gauss-like map and the proof of mixing of a related special flow.
