چکیده
The purpose of this article is to provide criteria for the solvability of the Diophantine equation a2X2− bY 2 = c in terms of the simple continued fraction expansion of √ a2b, and to explore criteria for the solvability of AX2 − BY 2 = C for given A, B, C ∈ N in the general case. This continues work in [9]–[11].

An algorithm of infinite sums representations and Tasoev continued fractions
For any given real number, its corresponding continued fraction is unique. However, given an arbitrary continued fraction, there has been no general way to identify its corresponding real number. In this paper we shall show a general algorithm from continued fractions to real numbers via infinite sums representations. Using this algorithm, we obtain some new Tasoev continued fractions.
متن کاملContinued Fractions and Modular Forms
This incursion into the realm of elementary and probabilistic number theory of continued fractions, via modular forms, allows us to study the alternating sum of coeecients of a continued fraction, thus solving the longstanding open problem of their limit law.
متن کاملEstimation of polynomial roots by continued fractions
One of the ways to describe dynamical characteristics of the system is the s-transfer function, which belongs to the class of the so-called external descriptions and from the mathematical point of view it represents a rational function. Decomposition into the partial fractions (sum of exponential functions in the time domain) is based on the knowledge of the roots of the polynomial defined by t...
متن کاملExcursions of Diffusion Processes and Continued Fractions
It is well-known that the excursions of a one-dimensional diffusion process can be studied by considering a certain Riccati equation associated with the process. We show that, in many cases of interest, the Riccati equation can be solved in terms of an infinite continued fraction. We examine the probabilistic significance of the expansion. To illustrate our results, we discuss some examples of ...
متن کاملLaplace Transforms for Numericalinversion via Continued
It is often possible to e ectively calculate cumulative distribution functions and other quantities of interest by numerically inverting Laplace transforms. However, to do so it is necessary to compute the Laplace transform values. Unfortunately, convenient explicit expressions for required transforms are often unavailable. In that event, we show that it is sometimes possible to nd continued-fr...
