End-symmetric continued fractions and quadratic congruences

Barry R. Smith (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

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 ).

Continued fractions on the Heisenberg group

Anton Lukyanenko, Joseph Vandehey (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We provide a generalization of continued fractions to the Heisenberg group. We prove an explicit estimate on the rate of convergence of the infinite continued fraction and several surprising analogs of classical formulas about continued fractions.
