This chapter details Umberto Zannier's minicourse on hyperelliptic continued fractions and generalized Jacobians. It begins by presenting the Pell equation, which was studied by Indian, and later by Arabic and Greek, mathematicians. The chapter then addresses two questions about continued fractions of algebraic functions. The first concerns the behavior of the solvability of the polynomial Pell equation for families of polynomials. It must be noted that these questions are related to problems of unlikely intersections in families of Jacobians of hyperelliptic curves (or generalized Jacobians). The chapter also reviews several classical definitions and results related to the continued fraction expansion of real numbers and illustrates them by examples.

Tangent Function

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.

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 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.

Kifer, Peres, and Weiss proved in [A dimension gap for continued fractions with independent digits. Israel J. Math.124 (2001), 61–76] that there exists $c_{0}>0$ , such that $\dim \unicode[STIX]{x1D707}\leq 1-c_{0}$ for any probability measure $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ , which makes the digits of the continued fraction expansion independent and identically distributed random variables. In this paper we prove that amongst this class of measures, there exists one whose dimension is maximal. Our results also apply in the more general setting of countable branched systems.

Abstract We give a construction of a real number that is normal to all integer bases and continued fraction normal. The computation of the first n digits of its continued fraction expansion performs in the order of n4 mathematical operations. The construction works by defining successive refinements of appropriate subintervals to achieve, in the limit, simple normality to all integer bases and continued fraction normality. The main difficulty is to control the length of these subintervals. To achieve this we adapt and combine known metric theorems on continued fractions and on expansions in integers bases.

Multidimensional Continued Fraction

Most well-known multidimensional continued fractions, including the Mönkemeyer map and the triangle map, are generated by repeatedly subdividing triangles. This paper constructs a family of multidimensional continued fractions by permuting the vertices of these triangles before and after each subdivision. We obtain an even larger class of multidimensional continued fractions by composing the maps in the family. These include the algorithms of Brun, Parry-Daniels and Güting. We give criteria for when multidimensional continued fractions associate sequences to unique points, which allows us to determine when periodicity of the corresponding multidimensional continued fraction corresponds to pairs of real numbers being cubic irrationals in the same number field.

The continued fraction expansion for a positive real number is generalized to that for a set of positive real numbers. For arbitrary integer n≥2, this generalized continued fraction expansion generates (n−1) sequences of positive integers {ak}, {bk}, … , {yk} from a given set of (n−1) positive real numbers α, β, …ψ. The sequences {ak}, {bk}, … ,{yk} determine a sequence of substitutions Sk: A → Aak Bbk…Yyk Z, B → A, C → B,…,Z → Y, which constructs a one-dimensional quasiperiodic lattice with n elements A, B, … , Z. If {ak}, {bk}, … , {yk} are infinite periodic sequences with an identical period, then the ratio between the numbers of n elements A, B, … , Z in the lattice becomes a : β : … : ψ : 1. Thereby the correspondence is established between all the sets of (n−1) positive real numbers represented by a periodic generalized continued fraction expansion and all the one-dimensional quasiperiodic lattices with n elements generated by a sequence of substitutions with a finite period.
