The conjecture that continued-fraction sets with matched bounds cover modulo 1
For , let and denote the continued-fraction sets whose partial quotients are respectively bounded above by and bounded below by . Write and when . The continued-fraction upper-and-lower conjecture. For every ,
The directly matched sum has diameter less than , so it cannot satisfy the corresponding covering statement. This alternative conjecture is presented as an analogue of the Lüroth-set results and relates to decompositions involving badly and well approximable numbers.
