1. INTRODUCTION. It is well known that the continued fraction expansion of a real quadratic irrational is periodic. Here we relate the expansion for √ rs, under the assumption that rX

Periodic Continued Fractions and Kronecker Symbols
We study the Kronecker symbol ( s t ) for the sequence of the convergents s/t of a purely periodic continued fraction expansion. Whereas the corresponding sequence of Jacobi symbols is always periodic, it turns out that the sequence of Kronecker symbols may be aperiodic. Our main result describes the period length in the periodic case in terms of the period length of the sequence of Jacobi symb...
متن کاملA ] 9 O ct 1 99 5 Compact Jacobi matrices : from Stieltjes to Krein and M ( a , b )
In a note at the end of his paper Recherches sur les fractions continues, Stieltjes gave a necessary and sufficient condition when a continued fraction is represented by a meromorphic function. This result is related to the study of compact Jacobi matrices. We indicate how this notion was developped and used since Stieltjes, with special attention to the results by M.G. Krein. We also pay atten...

متن کاملVector continued fractions using a generalized inverse
A real vector space combined with an inverse (involution) for vectors is sufficient to define a vector continued fraction whose parameters consist of vector shifts and changes of scale. The choice of sign for different components of the vector inverse permits construction of vector analogues of the Jacobi continued fraction. These vector Jacobi fractions are related to vector and scalar-valued ...
متن کاملS - adic expansions related to continued fractions
We consider S-adic expansions associated with continued fraction algorithms, where an S-adic expansion corresponds to an infinite composition of substitutions. Recall that a substitution is a morphism of the free monoid. We focus in particular on the substitutions associated with regular continued fractions (Sturmian substitutions), and with Arnoux–Rauzy, Brun, and Jacobi–Perron (multidimension...
