Exponents of Diophantine Approximation and Sturmian Continued Fractions
– Let ξ be a real number and let n be a positive integer. We define four exponents of Diophantine approximation, which complement the exponents w n (ξ) and w * n (ξ) defined by Mahler and Koksma. We calculate their six values when n = 2 and ξ is a real number whose continued fraction expansion coincides with some Sturmian sequence of positive integers, up to the initial terms. In particular, we...
متن کاملContinued Fractions and Modular Functions
It is widely recognized that the work of Ramanujan deeply influenced the direction of modern number theory. This influence resonates clearly in the “Ramanujan conjectures.” Here I will explore another part of his work whose position within number theory seems to be less well understood, even though it is more elementary, namely that related to continued fractions. I will concentrate on the spec...
متن کاملContinued Fractions, Diophantine Approximations, and Design of Color Transforms
We study a problem of approximate computation of color transforms (with real and possibly irrational factors) using integer arithmetics. We show that precision of such computations can be significantly improved if we allow input or output variables to be scaled by some constant. The problem of finding such a constant turns out to be related to the classic Diophantine approximation problem. We u...
متن کاملPath generating functions and continued fractions
This paper extends Flajolet’s (Discrete Math. 32 (1980) 125-161) combinatorial theory of continued fractions by obtaining the generating function for paths between horizontal lines, with arbitrary starting and ending points and weights on the steps. Consequences of the combinatorial arguments used to determine this result are combinatorial proofs for many classical identities involving continue...
متن کاملPseudo-factorials, Elliptic Functions, and Continued Fractions
This study presents miscellaneous properties of pseudo-factorials, which are numbers whose recurrence relation is a twisted form of that of usual factorials. These numbers are associated with special elliptic functions, most notably, a Dixonian and a Weierstraß function, which parametrize the Fermat cubic curve and are relative to a hexagonal lattice. A continued fraction expansion of the ordin...
