Roughly speaking, if the continued fraction expansions of two irrational algebraic numbers have the same long sub-word, then the two continued fraction expansions have the same tails. If the two expansions have mirror symmetry long sub-words, then both the two algebraic numbers are quadratic. Applying the above results, we prove a theorem analogous to the Roth's theorem about approximation by algebraic numbers.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-02-07T07:57:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11J70", "11J81" ], "keywords": [ "continued fraction expansions", "mirror symmetry long sub-words", "irrational algebraic numbers", "roths theorem", "independence" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
