This question is intimately connected with several other well-known problems, and we provide a lower bound in the case of B=2.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2006-02-28T21:56:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11K50", "11K38" ], "keywords": [ "partial quotients", "continued fraction", "well-known problems", "lower bound" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2003math.....10383C" } } }
