In this paper we introduce a new class of continued fractions related to the Rosen fractions, the $\\alpha$-Rosen fractions. The metrical properties of these $\\alpha$-Rosen fractions are studied. We find planar natural extensions for the associated interval maps, and show that these regions are closely related to similar region for the 'classical' Rosen fraction. This allows us to unify and generalize results of diophantine approximation from the literature.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-02-25T15:46:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "28D05", "11K55" ], "keywords": [ "metrical theory", "rosen fractions form", "planar natural extensions", "associated interval maps", "similar region" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2007math......2516D" } } }
