Discrete planes, 2 -actions, Jacobi-Perron algorithm and substitutions

Pierre Arnoux, Valérie Berthé, Shunji Ito (2002)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We introduce two-dimensional substitutions generating two-dimensional sequences related to discrete approximations of irrational planes. These two-dimensional substitutions are produced by the classical Jacobi-Perron continued fraction algorithm, by the way of induction of a 2 -action by rotations on the circle. This gives a new geometric interpretation of the Jacobi-Perron algorithm, as a map operating on the parameter space of 2 -actions by rotations.

Dynamique des nombres et physique des oscillateurs

Jacky Cresson (2008)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Nous présentons un modèle mathématique permettant de reproduire le spectre expérimental des fréquences dans un composant électronique appelé boucle ouverte. Le spectre semble s’organiser suivant une contrainte de nature diophantienne sur les fréquences. Sa structure peut donc se comprendre via une étude de l’ensemble des fractions continues en fonction de leur longueur et de la taille des quotients partiels.

End-symmetric continued fractions and quadratic congruences

Barry R. Smith (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

We show that for a fixed integer n ≠ ±2, the congruence x² + nx ± 1 ≡ 0 (mod α) has the solution β with 0 < β < α if and only if α/β has a continued fraction expansion with sequence of quotients having one of a finite number of possible asymmetry types. This generalizes the old theorem that a rational number α/β > 1 in lowest terms has a symmetric continued fraction precisely when β² ≡ ±1(mod α ).

Episturmian morphisms and a Galois theorem on continued fractions

Jacques Justin (2005)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

We associate with a word w on a finite alphabet A an episturmian (or Arnoux-Rauzy) morphism and a palindrome. We study their relations with the similar ones for the reversal of w . Then when | A | = 2 we deduce, using the sturmian words that are the fixed points of the two morphisms, a proof of a Galois theorem on purely periodic continued fractions whose periods are the reversal of each other.

Episturmian morphisms and a Galois theorem on continued fractions

We associate with a word w on a finite alphabet A an episturmian (or Arnoux-Rauzy) morphism and a palindrome. We study their relations with the similar ones for the reversal of w. Then when |A|=2 we deduce, using the Sturmian words that are the fixed points of the two morphisms, a proof of a Galois theorem on purely periodic continued fractions whose periods are the reversal of each other.

Ergodicity of ℤ² extensions of irrational rotations

Yuqing Zhang (2011)

Studia Mathematica

Let = [0,1) be the additive group of real numbers modulo 1, α ∈ be an irrational number and t ∈ . We study ergodicity of skew product extensions T : × ℤ² → × ℤ², T ( x , s , s ) = ( x + α , s + 2 χ [ 0 , 1 / 2 ) ( x ) - 1 , s + 2 χ [ 0 , 1 / 2 ) ( x + t ) - 1 ) .
