Some arithmetical properties of convergents to algebraic numbers

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let xi be an irrational algebraic real number and (pk/qk)kge1 denote the sequence of its convergents. Let (un)ngeq1 be a non-degenerate linear recurrence sequence of integers, which is not a polynomial sequence. We show that if the intersection of the sequences (qk)kge1 and (un)ngeq1 is infinite, then xi is a quadratic number. We also discuss several arithmetical properties of the sequence (qk)kge1.
