Continued Fraction Expansions

We derive closed form expressions for the continued fractions of powers of certain quadratic surds. Specifically, consider the recurrence relation with , , a positive integer, and (note that gives the Fibonacci numbers). Let . We find simple closed form continued fraction expansions for for any integer by exploiting elementary properties of the recurrence relation and 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.

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.

In this paper we determine closed-form expressions for the associated Jacobi polynomials, i.e., the polynomials satisfying the recurrence relation for Jacobi polynomials with n replaced by n + c, for arbitrary real c ≧ 0. One expression allows us to give in closed form the [n — 1/n] Padé approximant for what is essentially Gauss' continued fraction, thus completing the theory of explicit representations of main diagonal and off-diagonal Padé approximants to the ratio of two Gaussian hypergeometric functions and their confluent forms, an effort begun in [2] and [19]. (We actually give only the [n — 1/n] Padé element, although other cases are easily constructed, see [19] for details.)We also determine the weight function for the polynomials in certain cases where there are no discrete point masses. Concerning a weight function for these polynomials, so many writers have obtained so many partial results that our formula should be considered an epitome rather than a real discovery, see the discussion in Section 3.

The paper deals with the problem of convergence of the branched continued fractions with two branches of branching which are used to approximate the ratios of Horn's hypergeometric function $H_3(a,b;c;{\bf z})$. The case of real parameters $c\geq a\geq 0,$ $c\geq b\geq 0,$ $c\neq 0,$ and complex variable ${\bf z}=(z_1,z_2)$ is considered. First, it is proved the convergence of the branched continued fraction for ${\bf z}\in G_{\bf h}$, where $G_{\bf h}$ is two-dimensional disk. Using this result, sufficient conditions for the uniform convergence of the above mentioned branched continued fraction on every compact subset of the domain $\displaystyle H=\bigcup_{\varphi\in(-\pi/2,\pi/2)}G_\varphi,$ where \[\begin{split} G_{\varphi}=\big\{{\bf z}\in\mathbb{C}^{2}:&\;{\rm Re}(z_1e^{-i\varphi})<\lambda_1 \cos\varphi,\; |{\rm Re}(z_2e^{-i\varphi})|<\lambda_2 \cos\varphi, \\ &\;|z_k|+{\rm Re}(z_ke^{-2i\varphi})<\nu_k\cos^2\varphi,\;k=1,2;\; \\ &\; |z_1z_2|-{\rm Re}(z_1z_2e^{-2\varphi})<\nu_3\cos^{2}\varphi\big\}, \end{split}\] are established.

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.

Continued Fraction Expansions

Meander permutations have been encountered in the context of Gauss words, singularity theory, Sturm global attractors, plane Cartesian billiards, and Temperley–Lieb algebras, among others. In this spirit, we attempt to investigate the difference of orderings of homoclinic orbits on the stable and unstable manifolds of a planar saddle. As an example, we consider reversible linear Anosov maps on the 2-torus, and their relation to continued fraction expansions.

Ramanujan's Continued Fraction

Ramanujan's Continued Fraction may be stated as follows: Let where there are eight gamma functions in each product and the ambiguous signs are so chosen that the argument of each gamma function contains one of the specified number of minus signs. Then where the products and the sums on the right range over the numbers α, β, γ, δ, ε: provided that one of the numbers β, γ, δ, ε is equal to ± ±n, where n is a positive integer. In 1935, Watson (3) proved the theorem by induction and also gave a basic analogue. In this paper we give a new proof of Ramanujan's Continued Fraction by using the transformation of Bauer and Muir in the theory of continued fractions (Perron (1), §7;(2), §2).
