Large-denominator conjecture for continued fractions avoiding squares
Let be a non-square integer with . Consider rational numbers with continued fraction expansions
where the are positive integers. Large-denominator continued-fraction conjecture. For every such , there exists a coprime positive integer such that
The conjecture is motivated by computation and concerns a family whose denominators have no square values despite having no corresponding local obstruction.
