Some time ago Mills and Robbins (1986, J. Number Theory 23, No. 3, 388-404) conjectured a simple closed form for the continued fraction expansion of the power series solution \(f=a_{1} x^{-1}+a_{2} x^{-2}+\cdots\) to the equation \(f^{4}+f^{2}-x f+1=0\) when the base field is GF(3). In this paper we

Given any solution triple of natural numbers to the Markoff equation a 2 +b 2 + c 2 =3abc, an old problem asks whether the largest number determines the triple uniquely. We show this to be true in a range of cases by considering the factorisation of ideals in certain quadratic number fields, but als
For any prime p congruent to 1 modulo 4, let (t+u -p)Γ2 be the fundamental unit of Q(p). Then Ankeny, Artin, and Chowla conjectured that u is not divisible by p. In this paper, we investigate a certain relation between the conjecture and the continued fraction expansion of (1+p)Γ2. Consequently, we
## Introduction. That every integrally closed subring of the field of algebraic numbers is a ring of quotients of its subring of algebraic integers is a remark of 131. The purpose of the present note is to prove this assertion without the hypothesis of integral closure (Theorem A). The proof rests
For each rational number not less than 2, we provide an explicit family of continued fractions of algebraic power series in finite characteristic (together with the algebraic equations they satisfy) which has that rational number as its diophantine approximation exponent. We also provide some non-qu
