Proportionally modular diophantine inequalities and the Stern-Brocot tree

چکیده
Given positive integers a, b and c to compute a generating system for the numerical semigroup whose elements are all positive integer solutions of the inequality axmod b ≤ cx is equivalent to computing a Bézout sequence connecting two reduced fractions. We prove that a proper Bézout sequence is completely determined by its ends and we give an algorithm to compute the unique proper Bézout sequence connecting two reduced fractions. We also relate Bézout sequences with paths in the Stern-Brocot tree and use this tree to compute the minimal positive integer solution of the above inequality.

A Multifractal Analysis for Stern-brocot Intervals, Continued Fractions and Diophantine Growth Rates
In this paper we obtain multifractal generalizations of classical results by Lévy and Khintchin in metrical Diophantine approximations and measure theory of continued fractions. We give a complete multifractal analysis for Stern–Brocot intervals, for continued fractions and for certain Diophantine growth rates. In particular, we give detailed discussions of two multifractal spectra closely rela...
متن کاملProportionally Modular Diophantine Inequalities and Full Semigroups
A proportionally modular numerical semigroup is the set of nonnegative integer solutions to a Diophantine inequality of the type axmod b ≤ cx . We give a new presentation for these semigroups and we relate them with a type of affine full semigroups. Next, we describe explicitly the minimal generating system for the affine full semigroups we are considering. As a consequence, we obtain generatin...
متن کاملLinkages between the Gauss Map and the Stern-brocot Tree
We discover a bijective map between the Gauss Map and the left-half of the Stern-Brocot Tree. The domain of the Gauss Map is then extended to cover all reals, and the coverage of the Stern-Brocot Tree is extended to include all positive and negative rationals in a manner that preserves the map between the two constructions.
متن کاملSturmian words and the Stern sequence
Central, standard, and Christoffel words are three strongly interrelated classes of binary finite words which represent a finite counterpart of characteristic Sturmian words. A natural arithmetization of the theory is obtained by representing central and Christoffel words by irreducible fractions labeling respectively two binary trees, the Raney (or Calkin-Wilf) tree and the Stern-Brocot tree. ...
متن کاملLinking the Calkin-Wilf and Stern-Brocot trees
Links between the Calkin-Wilif tree and the Stern-Brocot tree are discussed answering the questions: What is the jth vertex in the nth level of the Calkin-Wilf tree? A simple mechanism is described for converting the jth vertex in the nth level of the Calkin-Wilf tree into the jth entry in the nth level of the Stern-Brocot tree. We also provide a simple method for evaluating terms in the hyperb...
