A Gauss-Kuzmin theorem for the Rosen fractions

Gabriela I. Sebe (2002)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Using the natural extensions for the Rosen maps, we give an infinite-order-chain representation of the sequence of the incomplete quotients of the Rosen fractions. Together with the ergodic behaviour of a certain homogeneous random system with complete connections, this allows us to solve a variant of Gauss-Kuzmin problem for the above fraction expansion.

A generalisation of an identity of Lehmer

Sanoli Gun, Ekata Saha, Sneh Bala Sinha (2016)

Acta Arithmetica

We prove an identity involving generalised Euler-Briggs constants, Euler's constant, and linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers. This generalises and gives an alternative proof of an identity of Lehmer (1975). Further, this identity facilitates the investigation of the (conjectural) transcendental nature of generalised Euler-Briggs constants. Earlier investigations of similar type by the present authors involved the interplay between additive and multiplicative characters. This in turn...

A generalisation of Mahler measure and its application in algebraic dynamical systems

Manfred Einsiedler (1999)

Acta Arithmetica

We prove a generalisation of the entropy formula for certain algebraic d -actions given in [2] and [4]. This formula expresses the entropy as the logarithm of the Mahler measure of a Laurent polynomial in d variables with integral coefficients. We replace the rational integers by the integers in a number field and examine the entropy of the corresponding dynamical system.
