Convergents Of Continued Fractions

Basic theory of continued fractions: finite continued fractions (for rational numbers) and infinite continued fractions (for irrational numbers). This also includes computation of the quadratic number with a given periodic continued fraction, conjugate quadratic numbers, and approximation of reals and convergents of continued fractions. The chapter then takes on quadratic bounds for the error term and Legendre’s theorem, and reals having the same expansion up to rank n. Next, it discusses Lagrange number and its characterization as an upper limit, and equivalence of real numbers (equivalent numbers have the same Lagrange number). Finally, it covers ordering real numbers by alternating lexicographical order on continued fractions.

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.

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.
