Introduction. Continued fractions of the form are called Hurwitzian if b1, …, bh, are positive integers, ƒ1(x), …, ƒk(x) are polynomials with rational coefficients which take positive integral values for x = 0, 1, 2, …, and at least one of the polynomials is not constant. f1(x), …, fk(x) are said to form a quasi-period.

Periodic Continued Fractions

Any real number y leads to a continued fraction of the type(1)where ai, bi are integers which satisfy the inequalities(2)by means of the algorithm(3)the a's being assigned positive integers. The process terminates for rational y; the last denominator bk satisfying bk ≥ ak + 1. For irrational y, the process does not terminate. For a preassigned set of numerators ai ≥ 1, this C.F. development of y is unique; its value being y.Bankier and Leighton (1) call such fractions (1), which satisfy (2), proper continued fractions. Among other questions, they studied the problem of expanding quadratic surds in periodic continued fractions. They state that “it is well-known that not only does every periodic regular continued fraction represent a quadratic irrational, but the regular continued fraction expansion of a quadratic irrational is periodic.

AbstractLet 𝔽q be the finite field of q elements. An analogue of the regular continued fraction expansion for an element α in the field of formal Laurent series over 𝔽q is given uniquely by $$\alpha = A_0(\alpha ) + \displaystyle{1 \over {A_1(\alpha ) + \displaystyle{1 \over {A_2(\alpha ) + \ddots }}}},$$ where $(A_{n}(\alpha))_{n=0}^{\infty}$ is a sequence of polynomials with coefficients in 𝔽q such that deg(An(α)) ⩾ 1 for all n ⩾ 1. In this paper, we provide quantitative versions of metrical results regarding averages of partial quotients. A sample result we prove is that, given any ϵ > 0, we have $$\vert A_1(\alpha ) \ldots A_N(\alpha )\vert ^{1/N} = q^{q/(q - 1)} + o(N^{ - 1/2}(\log N)^{3/2 + {\rm \epsilon }})$$ for almost everywhere α with respect to Haar measure.

The modular function Mwas introduced by Perron in (6). M(ξ) (for irrational ξ) is denned by the property that the inequalityis satisfied by an infinity of relatively prime pairs (p, q)for positive d,but by at most a finite number of such pairs for negative d.We will writefor the continued fraction expansion of ξ ∈ (0, 1) and for any finite collection y1,…, ykof positive integers we will writeIt is known (see 6) thatWhere

A continued fraction is an expression of the formThe expression can continue for ever, in which case it is called aninfinitecontinued fraction, or it can stop after some term, when we call it afinitecontinued fraction. For irrational numbers, a continued fraction expansion often reveals beautiful number patterns which remain obscured in their decimal expansion. The interested reader is referred to [1] for a collection of many interesting continued fractions for famous mathematical constants.

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.

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.

We write ‖x‖ to denote the least distance from x to an integer, and write p for a prime variable. Duffin and Schaeffer [l] showed that for almost all real α the inequalityhas infinitely many solutions if and only ifdiverges. Thus f(x) = (x log log (10x))−1 is a suitable choice to obtain infinitely many solutions for almost all α. It has been shown [2] that for all real irrational α there are infinitely many solutions to (1) with f(p) = p−/13. We will show elsewhere that the exponent can be increased to 7/22. A very strong result on primes in arithmetic progressions (far stronger than anything within reach at the present time) would lead to an improvement on this result. On the other hand, it is very easy to find irrational a such that no convergent to its continued fraction expansion has prime denominator (for example (45– √10)/186 does not even have a square-free denominator in its continued fraction expansion, since the denominators are alternately divisible by 4 and 9).

In this work we deal with extreme value theory in the context of continued fractions using techniques from probability theory, ergodic theory and real analysis. We give an upper bound for the rate of convergence in the Doeblin–Iosifescu asymptotics for the exceedances of digits obtained from the regular continued fraction expansion of a number chosen randomly from $(0,1)$ according to the Gauss measure. As a consequence, we significantly improve the best known upper bound on the rate of convergence of the maxima in this case. We observe that the asymptotics of order statistics and the extremal point process can also be investigated using our methods.
