We prove in particular that for any sufficiently large prime $p$ there is $1\le a<p$ such that all partial quotients of $a/p$ are bounded by $O(\log p/\log \log p)$. For composite denominators a similar result is obtained. This improves the well--known Korobov bound concerning Zaremba's conjecture from the theory of continued fractions.

A relationship between the Riemann zeta function and a density on integer sets is explored. Several properties of the examined density are derived.

Zaremba's Conjecture concerns the formation of continued fractions with partial quotients restricted to a given alphabet. In order to answer the numerous questions that arrive from this conjecture, it is best to consider a semi-group, often denoted $\Gamma_{A}$, which arises naturally as a subset of $SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ when considering finite continued fractions. To translate back from this semi-group into rational numbers, we select a projection mapping satisfying certain cri...

We show that for any positive forward density subset N \subset Z, there exists an integer m>0, such that, for all n>m, N contains almost perfect n-scaled reproductions of any previously chosen finite set of integers.

Given a subset of the integers of zero density, we define the weaker notion of fractional density of such a set. It is shown how this notion corresponds to that of the Hausdorff dimension of a compact subset of the reals. We then show that a version of a theorem of {\L}aba and Pramanik on 3-term arithmetic progressions in subsets of the unit interval also holds for subsets of the integers with fractional density and satisfying certain Fourier-decay conditions.

We discuss several open problems in Diophantine approximation. Among them there are famous Littlewood's and Zaremba's conjectures as well as some new and not so famous problems.

In this article, we prove some subsets of the set of natural numbers $\mathbb{N}$ and any non-zero ideals of an order of imaginary quadratic fields are fractionally dense in $\mathbb{R}_{>0}$ and $\mathbb{C}$ respectively.

In this paper we examine the subset of Farey fractions of order Q consisting of those fractions whose denominators are odd. In particular, we consider the frequencies of values of numerators of differences of consecutive elements in this set. After proving an asymptotic result for these frequencies, we use estimates coming from incomplete Kloosterman sums to generalize our result to subintervals of [0,1].

In this note, we study the set $\mathcal{D}$ of values of the quadruplet $(\underline{\mathrm{d}}(A),\overline{\mathrm{d}}(A),\underline{\mathrm{d}}(2A),\overline{\mathrm{d}}(2A))$ where $A\subset\mathbb{N}$ and $\underline{\mathrm{d}},\overline{\mathrm{d}}$ denote the lower and upper asymptotic density, respectively. Completing existing results on the topic, we determine each of its six projections on coordinate planes, that is, the sets of possible values of the six subpair...

We build a bridge from density combinatorics to dimension theory of continued fractions. We establish a fractal transference principle that transfers common properties of subsets of $\mathbb N$ with positive upper density to properties of subsets of irrationals in $(0,1)$ for which the set $\{a_n(x)\colon n\in\mathbb N\}$ of partial quotients induces an injection $n\in\mathbb N\mapsto a_n(x)\in\mathbb N$. Let $(*)$ be a certain property that holds for any subset of $\mathbb N...
