Existence conjecture for nice Browkin continued fractions
Let be an odd prime, let denote the set used in the paper for the allowed partial quotients, and let a nice BCF be a finite Browkin continued fraction satisfying the niceness conditions defined earlier in the paper. Existence conjecture for nice BCFs. For every integer , there exists a nice BCF of length , except when and . Nice sequences are the input to the paper's construction of infinitely many quadratic irrationals with periodic BCF expansions of period . The statement is marked resolved in the supplied status evidence: the exceptional case was proved in Bedocchi (1989).
