Farey-subgraphs and Continued Fractions

Abstract

In this note, we study a family of subgraphs of the Farey graph, denoted as $\mathcal{F}_N$ for every $N\in\mathbb{N}.$ We show that $\mathcal{F}_N$ is connected if and only if $N$ is either equal to one or a prime power. We introduce a class of continued fractions referred to as $\mathcal{F}_N$-continued fractions for each $N>1.$ We establish a relation between $\mathcal{F}_N$-continued fractions and certain paths from infinity in the graph $\mathcal{F}_N.$ We discuss existence and uniqueness of $\mathcal{F}_N$-continued fraction expansions of real numbers.
