Continued Fractions, Fibonacci Numbers, and Some Classes of Irrational Numbers
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we define an equivalence relation on the set of positive irrational numbers less than 1. The relation is defined by means of continued fractions. Equivalence classes under this relation are determined by the places of some elements equal to 1 (called essential 1’s) in the continued fraction expansion of numbers. Analysis of suprema of all equivalence classes leads to a solution which involves Fibonacci numbers and constitutes the main result of this paper. The problem has its origin in the author’s research on the construction of digital lines and upper and lower mechanical and characteristic words according to the hierarchy of runs.

On the Approximation of Irrational Numbers with Rationals Restricted by Congruence Relations
Usually this theorem is proved by using continued fractions; see Theorem 193 in [2]. S. Hartman [3] has restricted the approximating numbers f to those fractions, where u and v belong to fixed residue classes a and b with respect to some modulus s. He proved the following: For any irrational number £, any s > 1, and integers a and b, there are infinitely many integers u and v > 0 satisfying 2s (1)
متن کاملSeries of Error Terms for Rational Approximations of Irrational Numbers
Let pn/qn be the n-th convergent of a real irrational number α, and let εn = αqn−pn. In this paper we investigate various sums of the type ∑ m εm, ∑ m |εm|, and ∑ m εmx m. The main subject of the paper is bounds for these sums. In particular, we investigate the behaviour of such sums when α is a quadratic surd. The most significant properties of the error sums depend essentially on Fibonacci nu...
متن کاملCoefficient Bounds for Analytic bi-Bazileviv{c} Functions Related to Shell-like Curves Connected with Fibonacci Numbers
In this paper, we define and investigate a new class of bi-Bazilevic functions related to shell-like curves connected with Fibonacci numbers. Furthermore, we find estimates of first two coefficients of functions belonging to this class. Also, we give the Fekete-Szegoinequality for this function class.
متن کاملTranscendence measures for continued fractions involving repetitive or symmetric patterns
It was observed long ago (see e.g., [32] or [20], page 62) that Roth’s theorem [28] and its p-adic extension established by Ridout [27] can be used to prove the transcendence of real numbers whose expansion in some integer base contains repetitive patterns. This was properly written only in 1997, by Ferenczi and Mauduit [21], who adopted a point of view from combinatorics on words before applyi...
متن کاملUniform spectral properties of one-dimensional quasicrystals, II. The Lyapunov exponent
In this paper we introduce a method that allows one to prove uniform local results for one-dimensional discrete Schrödinger operators with Sturmian potentials. We apply this method to the transfer matrices in order to study the Lyapunov exponent and the growth rate of eigenfunctions. This gives uniform vanishing of the Lyapunov exponent on the spectrum for all irrational rotation numbers. For i...
