โœฆ Synopsis


A function E(b, s) is defined on the set {s in N, b in Z, (b, s)=1} implicitly, by a functional equation. Various conjectures arise from tables and some of these are proved. This function is then related to a partial sum of Farey indices weighted according to the parity of the Farey denominators. An explicit formula for E(b, s) is given, together with sharp bounds, and these show that the weighted partial sums of Farey indices are much smaller than expected. The explicit formula was determined from numerical trials: the question arises whether a constructive derivation from the functional equation should be possible in these and similar circumstances.

As in the case of the Mandelbrot set, the index introduces a Fibonacci partition on the connectedness locus of polynomials of higher degree fC(z) = z" + c, n 3 3. It is shown that the appearance of the Fibonacci partition is explained in terms of the Farey sequence.

Let x be a real number in [0, 1], F n be the Farey sequence of order n and \ n (x) be the distance between x and F n . Assuming that n ร„ we derive the asymptotic distributions of the functions n 2 \ n (x) and n\ n (x$ร‚n), 0 x$ n. We also establish the asymptotics for 1 0 \ $ n (x) dx, for all real $
