Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In number theory, continued fractions are essential tools because they provide distinct representations of real numbers and provide information about their characteristics. Regular continued fractions have been examined in great detail, but less research has been carried out on their semi-regular counterparts, which are produced from the sequences of alternating plus and minus ones. In this study, we investigate the structure and features of semi-regular continuous fractions through the lens of dimension theory. We prove a primary result about the Hausdorff dimension of number sets whose partial quotients increase more quickly than a given pace. Furthermore, we conduct numerical analyses to illustrate the differences between regular and semi-regular continued fractions, shedding light on potential future directions in this field.
