A class of algorithms for rational approximation of functions formally defined by power series
Corresponding sequence algorithms are defined and shown to exist for a wide range of corresponding continued fractions. Particular examples of these algorithms are given, including an algorithm for forming Pade approximants, and an error analysis is given in one case
Spectra of Discrete Schr\"odinger Operators with Primitive Invertible Substitution Potentials
We study the spectral properties of discrete Schr\"odinger operators with
potentials given by primitive invertible substitution sequences (or by Sturmian
sequences whose rotation angle has an eventually periodic continued fraction
expansion, a strictly larger class than primitive invertible substitution
sequences). It is known that operators from this family have spectra which are
Cantor sets of zero Lebesgue measure. We show that the Hausdorff dimension of
this set tends to as coupling constant tends to . Moreover, we
also show that at small coupling constant, all gaps allowed by the gap labeling
theorem are open and furthermore open linearly with respect to .
Additionally, we show that, in the small coupling regime, the density of states
measure for an operator in this family is exact dimensional. The dimension of
the density of states measure is strictly smaller than the Hausdorff dimension
of the spectrum and tends to as tends to
Beyond Expansion II: Low-Lying Fundamental Geodesics
A closed geodesic on the modular surface is "low-lying" if it does not travel
"high" into the cusp. It is "fundamental" if it corresponds to an element in
the class group of a real quadratic field. We prove the existence of infinitely
many low-lying fundamental geodesics, answering a question of
Einsiedler-Lindenstrauss-Michel-Venkatesh.Comment: 39 pages, 1 figure. This paper is a complete re-write of the posting
arXiv:1310.7190, making the latter obsolete. The main tools are similar, but
the application is in some sense orthogonal to the initial goal. We hope to
return to the questions of the earlier paper at a later dat
