A reinforcement of the Bourgain-Kontorovich's theorem

Several conjectural continued fractions found with the help of various algorithms are published in this paper.

We discuss a number of naturally arising problems in arithmetic, culled from completely unrelated sources, which turn out to have a common formulation involving "thin" orbits. These include the local-global problem for integral Apollonian gaskets and Zaremba's Conjecture on finite continued fractions with absolutely bounded partial quotients. Though these problems could have been posed by the ancient Greeks, recent progress comes from a pleasant synthesis of modern techniques...

In the present article, modeling certain rational numbers, that are represented in terms of Cantor series, are described. The statements on relations between digits in the representations of rational numbers by Cantor series (for the case of an arbitrary sequence $(q_k)$) are proved.

For any real number $x \in [0,1)$, we denote by $q_n(x)$ the denominator of the $n$-th convergent of the continued fraction expansion of $x$ $(n \in \mathbb{N})$. It is well-known that the Lebesgue measure of the set of points $x \in [0,1)$ for which $\log q_n(x)/n$ deviates away from $\pi^2/(12\log2)$ decays to zero as $n$ tends to infinity. In this paper, we study the rate of this decay by giving an upper bound and a lower bound. What is interesting is that the upper bound ...

This paper is a continuation of a previous paper. Here, as there, we examine the problem of finding the maximum number of terms in a partial sequence of distinct unit fractions larger than 1/100 that sums to 1. In the previous paper, we found that the maximum number of terms is 42 and introduced a method for showing that. In this paper, we demonstrate that there are 27 possible solutions with 42 terms, and discuss how primes show that no 43-term solution exists.

Bourgain, Konyagin and Shparlinski obtained a lower bound for the size of the product set AB when A and B are sets of positive rational numbers with numerator and denominator less or equal than Q. We extend and slightly improve that lower bound using a different approach.

In this paper we give a detailed measure theoretical analysis of what we call sum-level sets for regular continued fraction expansions. The first main result is to settle a recent conjecture of Fiala and Kleban, which asserts that the Lebesgue measure of these level sets decays to zero, for the level tending to infinity. The second and third main result then give precise asymptotic estimates for this decay. The proofs of these results are based on recent progress in infinite ...

Consider the representation of a rational number as a continued fraction, associated with "odd" Euclidean algorithm. In this paper we prove certain properties for the limit distribution function for sequences of rationals with bounded sum of partial quotients

This survey is devoted to necessary and suffcient conditions for a rational number to be representable by a Cantor series. Necessary and suffcient conditions are formulated for the case of an arbitrary sequence $(q_k)$.

A theorem of Kurzweil ('55) on inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation states that if $\theta$ is an irrational number, then the following are equivalent: (A) for every decreasing positive function $\psi$ such that $\sum_{q = 1}^\infty \psi(q) = \infty$, and for almost every $s\in\mathbb R$, there exist infinitely many $q\in\mathbb N$ such that $\|q\theta - s\| < \psi(q)$, and (B) $\theta$ is badly approximable. This theorem is not true if one adds to condition (A) the hypoth...
