Restricted Partial Quotients

Restricted Partial Quotients

In mathematics, and more particularly in the analytic theory of regular continued fractions, an infinite regular continued fraction x is said to be restricted, or composed of restricted partial quotients, if the sequence of denominators of its partial quotients is bounded; that is

and there is some positive integer M such that all the (integral) partial denominators ai are less than or equal to M.

Famous quotes containing the words restricted and/or partial:

    One thing that literature would be greatly the better for
    Would be a more restricted employment by authors of simile and
    metaphor.
