On the real quadratic fields with certain continued fraction expansions and fundamental units
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the real quadratic number fields $Q(sqrt{d})$ which contain the specific form of the continued fractions expansions of integral basis element where $dequiv 2,3( mod 4)$ is a square free positive integer. Besides, the present paper deals with determining the fundamental unit$$epsilon _{d}=left(t_d+u_dsqrt{d}right) 2left.right > 1$$and $n_d$ and $m_d...
متن کاملDuke’s Theorem and Continued Fractions
For uniformly chosen random α ∈ [0, 1], it is known the probability the nth digit of the continued-fraction expansion, [α]n converges to the Gauss-Kuzmin distribution P([α]n = k) ≈ log2(1 + 1/k(k + 2)) as n → ∞. In this paper, we show the continued fraction digits of √ d, which are eventually periodic, also converge to the Gauss-Kuzmin distribution as d → ∞ with bounded class number, h(d). The ...
متن کاملA Short Proof of the Simple Continued Fraction Expansion of
One of the most interesting proofs is due to Hermite; it arose as a byproduct of his proof of the transcendence of e in [5]. (See [6] for an exposition by Olds.) The purpose of this note is to present an especially short and direct variant of Hermite’s proof and to explain some of the motivation behind it. Consider any continued fraction [a0, a1, a2, . . .]. Its ith convergent is defined to be ...
متن کاملElliptic Curves and Continued Fractions
We detail the continued fraction expansion of the square root of the general monic quartic polynomial. We note that each line of the expansion corresponds to addition of the divisor at infinity, and interpret the data yielded by the general expansion. The paper includes a detailed ’reminder exposition’ on continued fractions of quadratic irrationals in function fields. A delightful ‘essay’ [16]...
متن کاملHyperelliptic curves, continued fractions, and Somos sequences
We detail the continued fraction expansion of the square root of a monic polynomials of even degree. We note that each step of the expansion corresponds to addition of the divisor at infinity, and interpret the data yielded by the general expansion. In the quartic and sextic cases we observe explicitly that the parameters appearing in the continued fraction expansion yield integer sequences def...
