Table of convergents constants

This page is based on empirical evidence.

This (probably original) research topic requires further investigation.

This article needs more work.

Please help by expanding it!

If you use the convergents of the simple continued fraction of a positive real constant $\scriptstyle x\,$ as the terms of a generalized continued fraction, then likewise use the new convergents in another generalized continued fraction, then repeat that process ad infinitum, you get the convergents constant of $\scriptstyle x\,$.

Table of decimal expansions of the convergents constants

Here is a table of the decimal expansions of the convergents constants (to a few decimal places) of numbers in unit intervals.

Table of integer part and partial denominators of the convergents constants

Here is a table of the integer part $\scriptstyle a_{0}(n)\,$ and the first few partial denominators $\scriptstyle a_{i}(n),\,i\,\geq \,1,\,$ of the simple continued fractions of the convergents constants of numbers in unit intervals.

Conjectured pattern

The integer part $\scriptstyle a_{0}(n)\,$ and the partial denominators $\scriptstyle a_{i}(n),\,i\,\geq \,1,\,$ of the simple continued fractions of the convergents constants seem to follow the pattern

$a_{0}(n)=n,\quad n\geq 0;\,$

$a_{1}(n)=\left\{{\begin{array}{lr}n+1,\quad 0\leq n\leq 1,\\n,\quad n\geq 2;\\\end{array}}\right.\,$

$a_{2}(n)={\Bigg \lfloor }{\frac {n}{2}}{\Bigg \rfloor },\quad n\geq 2;\,$

$a_{3}(n)=1+{\Bigg (}{\frac {1+(-1)^{n}}{2}}{\Bigg )}~(2n-1),\quad n\geq 6;\,$

$a_{4}(n)=1+{\Bigg (}{\frac {1+(-1)^{n}}{2}}{\Bigg )}~{\Bigg (}{\Bigg \lfloor }{\frac {n}{6}}{\Bigg \rfloor }-1{\Bigg )},\quad n\geq 6;\,$.

$a_{5}(n)=\left\{{\begin{array}{lr}\left\{{\begin{array}{lr}9n+4,\quad 1<n\leq 6,\\9n+2,\quad 6<n\leq 12,\\9n+1,\quad 12<n\leq 24,\\9n+0,\quad 24<n\leq \ ?,\\\end{array}}\right\},\quad n~{\bmod {~}}6=0,\\\\{\frac {n-1}{2}},\quad n~{\bmod {~}}6=1,\\~~~2,\quad n~{\bmod {~}}6=2,\\{\frac {n-1}{2}},\quad n~{\bmod {~}}6=3,\\~~~1,\quad n~{\bmod {~}}6=4,\\{\frac {n-1}{2}},\quad n~{\bmod {~}}6=5;\\\end{array}}\right.\,$

Partial proof of pattern

Yuval Filmus at http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/39981/extract-a-pattern-of-iterated-continued-fractions-from-convergents wrote the following that as far as I can tell confirms that pattern, in general, for $\scriptstyle a_{0},\,a_{1}\,$, and $\scriptstyle a_{3}\,$ for $\scriptstyle n>2\,$. — Marvin Ray Burns 18:00, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

START[ Here is some analysis for the actual definition.

Suppose that the original continued fraction is

$[a;b,c,d,\ldots ].\,$

The first few convergents are

$\{a,a+1/b,a+1/(b+1/c),\ldots \}.\,$

Therefore, the continued fraction with convergents as coefficients is equal to

$a+1/(a+1/b+1/(a+1/(b+1/c)+\cdots )).\,$

In general, we would expect that

$1/b+1/(a+\cdots )<1,\,$

this will happen eventually. In that case, we can recover the second coefficient of the continued fraction as $\scriptstyle a\,$.

Now we're at the case

$[a;a,c,d,\ldots ].\,$

Substituting $\scriptstyle b\,=\,a\,$, above, the next iteration is equal to

$a+1/(a+1/a+1/(a+1/(a+1/c)+\cdots )).\,$

Let's express that as an integral continued fraction. After peeling off the first two coefficients, we are left with

${\frac {1}{1/a+1/(a+1/(a+1/c))}}\approx {\frac {1}{1/a+1/a}}=a/2.\,$

Therefore in general, the next coefficient should be $\scriptstyle \lfloor a/2\rfloor .\,$

Now the analysis splits into two cases, whether $\scriptstyle a\,$, is even or odd. You can get $\scriptstyle a_{3},\,a_{4}\,$, this way. Since $\scriptstyle a_{4}\,$, involves division by 6; we know have 6 cases. And so on.

In order to prove that the process almost always converges to the constant, one needs to be more careful and show that the estimates above are mostly true. Probably one can get some conditions on the original continued fraction, and deduce from them that convergence happens "for most values", with some precise meaning.

This analysis will also help explain why you get different behavior for small $\scriptstyle n\,$. However, the heuristic estimates I use should give you the value of all coefficients "for large $\scriptstyle n\,$" – how large depends on the actual coefficient. END]
