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 ).

Extended Euclidean Algorithm and CRT Algorithm

Hiroyuki Okazaki, Yosiki Aoki, Yasunari Shidama (2012)

Formalized Mathematics

In this article we formalize some number theoretical algorithms, Euclidean Algorithm and Extended Euclidean Algorithm [9]. Besides the a gcd b, Extended Euclidean Algorithm can calculate a pair of two integers (x, y) that holds ax + by = a gcd b. In addition, we formalize an algorithm that can compute a solution of the Chinese remainder theorem by using Extended Euclidean Algorithm. Our aim is to support the implementation of number theoretic tools. Our formalization of those algorithms is based...

Lower bounds for the largest eigenvalue of the gcd matrix on

Jorma K. Merikoski (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Consider the matrix with ’th entry . Its largest eigenvalue and sum of entries satisfy . Because cannot be expressed algebraically as a function of , we underestimate it in several ways. In examples, we compare the bounds so obtained with one another and with a bound from S. Hong, R. Loewy (2004). We also conjecture that for all . If is large enough, this follows from F. Balatoni (1969).
