q-Stern Polynomials as Numerators of Continued Fractions

Toufik Mansour (2015)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We present a q-analogue for the fact that the nth Stern polynomial Bₙ(t) in the sense of Klavžar, Milutinović and Petr [Adv. Appl. Math. 39 (2007)] is the numerator of a continued fraction of n terms. Moreover, we give a combinatorial interpretation for our q-analogue.

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.

Stern Polynomials as Numerators of Continued Fractions

A. Schinzel (2014)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

It is proved that the nth Stern polynomial Bₙ(t) in the sense of Klavžar, Milutinović and Petr [Adv. Appl. Math. 39 (2007)] is the numerator of a continued fraction of n terms. This generalizes a result of Graham, Knuth and Patashnik concerning the Stern sequence Bₙ(1). As an application, the degree of Bₙ(t) is expressed in terms of the binary expansion of n.

Continued fraction expansions for complex numbers-a general approach

S. G. Dani (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

Similarity:

We introduce a general framework for studying continued fraction expansions for complex numbers, and establish some results on the convergence of the corresponding sequence of convergents. For continued fraction expansions with partial quotients in a discrete subring of ℂ an analogue of the classical Lagrange theorem, characterising quadratic surds as numbers with eventually periodic continued fraction expansions, is proved. Monotonicity and exponential growth are established for the...

Simple Continued Fractions and Their Convergents

Bo Li, Yan Zhang, Artur Korniłowicz (2006)

Formalized Mathematics

Similarity:

The article introduces simple continued fractions. They are defined as an infinite sequence of integers. The characterization of rational numbers in terms of simple continued fractions is shown. We also give definitions of convergents of continued fractions, and several important properties of simple continued fractions and their convergents.
