AbstractLet ξ be an irrational number with simple continued fraction expansion be its ith convergent. Let Mi = [ai+1,…, a1]+ [0; ai+2, ai+3,…]. In this paper we prove that Mn−1 < r and Mn R imply which generalizes a previous result of the author.

AbstractSzekeres defined a continuous analogue of the additive ordinary continued fraction expansion, which iterates a map T on a domain which can be identified with the unit square [0, 1]2. Associated to it are continuous analogues of the Lagrange and Markoff spectrum. Our main result is that these are identical with the usual Lagrange and Markoff spectra, respectively; thus providing an alternative characterization of them.Szekeres also described a multi-dimensional analogue of T, which iterates a map Td on a higherdimensional domain; he proposed using it to bound d-dimensional Diophantine approximation constants. We formulate several open problems concerning the Diophantine approximation properties of the map Td.

Dedicated to George Szekeres on his 90th birthdayWe discuss the exponential growth in the height of the coefficients of the partial quotients of the continued fraction expansion of the square root of a generic polynomial.

Abstract The Farey sequence is the set of rational numbers with bounded denominator. We introduce the concept of a generalized Farey sequence. While these sequences arise naturally in the study of discrete and thin subgroups, they can be used to study interesting number theoretic sequences—for example rationals whose continued fraction partial quotients are subject to congruence conditions. We show that these sequences equidistribute and the gap distribution converges and answer an associated problem in Diophantine approximation. Moreover, for one example, we derive an explicit formula for the gap distribution. For this example, we construct the analogue of the Gauss measure, which is ergodic for the Gauss map. This allows us to prove a theorem about the associated Gauss–Kuzmin statistics.
