On a Theorem of Nathanson on Diophantine Approximation
Jaroslav Hančl, Tho Phuoc Nguyen
In 1974, M. B. Nathanson proved that every irrational number represented by a simple continued fraction with infinitely many elements greater than or equal to is approximab…
On a Theorem of Legendre on Diophantine Approximation
Jaroslav Hančl, Tho Phuoc Nguyen
Legendre's theorem states that every irreducible fraction which satisfies the inequality is convergent to . Later…
Linear independence of continued fractions with algebraic terms
Jaroslav Hančl, Mathias L. Laursen, Jitu Berhanu Leta
We give conditions on sequences of positive algebraic numbers , and number field to ensure that the numbers defined by the cont…
On irrationality exponents of generalized continued fractions
Jaroslav Hancl, Kalle Leppälä, Tapani Matala-aho +1
We study how the asymptotic irrationality exponent of a given generalized continued fraction \[ \K_{n=1}^\infty \frac{a_n}{b_n}\,,\quad a_n, b_n\in \mathbb{Z}^+, \] behaves as a fu…
