Diophantine approximation on Veech surfaces

Pascal Hubert, Thomas A. Schmidt (2012)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

We show that Y. Cheung’s general Z -continued fractions can be adapted to give approximation by saddle connection vectors for any compact translation surface. That is, we show the finiteness of his Minkowski constant for any compact translation surface. Furthermore, we show that for a Veech surface in standard form, each component of any saddle connection vector dominates its conjugates in an appropriate sense. The saddle connection continued fractions then allow one to recognize certain transcendental...

Diophantine approximation with partial sums of power series

Bruce C. Berndt, Sun Kim, M. Tip Phaovibul, Alexandru Zaharescu (2013)

Acta Arithmetica

We study the question: How often do partial sums of power series of functions coalesce with convergents of the (simple) continued fractions of the functions? Our theorems quantitatively demonstrate that the answer is: not very often. We conjecture that in most cases there are only a finite number of partial sums coinciding with convergents. In many of these cases, we offer exact numbers in our conjectures.

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.

Distances dans la suite des multiples d'un point du tore à deux dimensions

Nicolas Chevallier (1996)

Acta Arithmetica

Introduction. Soit θ un élément de ¹=ℝ/ℤ. Considérons la suite des multiples de θ, x = ( n θ ) n . Pour tout n ∈ ℕ, ordonnons les n+1 premiers termes de cette suite, 0 = y₀ ≤ y₁ ≤...≤ yₙ ≤ 1 = pθ, p=0,...,n. La suite (y₀,...,yₙ) découpe l’intervalle [0,1] en n+1 intervalles qui ont au plus trois longueurs distinctes, la plus grande de ces longueurs étant la somme des deux autres. Cette propriété a été conjecturé par Steinhaus, elle est étroitement liée au développement en fraction continue de θ. On peut aussi...

Dynamical directions in numeration

Guy Barat, Valérie Berthé, Pierre Liardet, Jörg Thuswaldner (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

This survey aims at giving a consistent presentation of numeration from a dynamical viewpoint: we focus on numeration systems, their associated compactification, and dynamical systems that can be naturally defined on them. The exposition is unified by the fibred numeration system concept. Many examples are discussed. Various numerations on rational integers, real or complex numbers are presented with special attention paid to β -numeration and its generalisations, abstract numeration systems and...
