In this short note we prove two elegant generalized continued fraction formulae $$e= 2+cfrac{1}{1+cfrac{1}{2+cfrac{2}{3+cfrac{3}{4+ddots}}}}$$ and $$e= 3+cfrac{-1}{4+cfrac{-2}{5+cfrac{-3}{6+cfrac{-4}{7+ddots}}}}$$ using elementary methods. The first formula is well-known, and the second one is newly-discovered in arXiv:1907.00205 [cs.LG]. We then explore the possibility of automatic verification of such formulae using computer algebra systems (CASs).

An elementary proof is given to show that a parametrised algebraic curve in the plane may be traced out, in the sense of A. B. Kempe, by a finite pinned linkage. Additionally it is shown that any parametrised continuous curve gamma: [0,1] to R^2 may be traced out by an infinite linkage where the valencies of the joints is uniformly bounded. We also discuss related Kempe universality theorems and give a novel correction of Kempes original argument.
For regular continued fraction, if a real number $x$ and its rational approximation $p/q$ satisfying $|x-p/q|<1/q^2$, then, after deleting the last integer of the partial quotients of $p/q$, the sequence of the remaining partial quotients is a prefix of that of $x$. In this paper, we show that the situation is completely different if we consider the Hurwitz continued fraction expansions of a complex number and its rational approximations. More specifically, we consider the set $E(psi)$ of complex numbers which are well approximated with the given bound $psi$ and have quite different Hurwitz continued fraction expansions from that of their rational approximations. The Hausdorff and packing dimensions of such set are determined. It turns out that its packing dimension is always full for any given approximation bound $psi$ and its Hausdorff dimension is equal to that of the $psi$-approximable set $W(psi)$ of complex numbers. As a consequence, we also obtain an analogue of the classical Jarnik Theorem in real case.
We exhibit a method to use continued fractions in function fields to find new families of hyperelliptic curves over the rationals with given torsion order in their Jacobians. To show the utility of the method, we exhibit a new infinite family of curves over $mathbb Q$ with genus two whose Jacobians have torsion order eleven.
We employ some results about continued fraction expansions of Herglotz-Nevanlinna functions to characterize the spectral data of generalized indefinite strings of Stieltjes type. In particular, this solves the corresponding inverse spectral problem through explicit formulas.
The Rosen fractions are an infinite set of continued fraction algorithms, each giving expansions of real numbers in terms of certain algebraic integers. For each, we give a best possible upper bound for the minimum in appropriate consecutive blocks of approximation coefficients (in the sense of Diophantine approximation by continued fraction convergents). We also obtain metrical results for large blocks of ``bad approximations.
