Soit le développement en fraction continue d’un nombre irrationnel et soit le dénominateur de la -ième réduite de . On sait que les préfixes de longueur du mot sturmien caractéristique de pente vérifient la relation de récurrence pour tout . Nous établissons une relation de concaténation analogue pour les préfixes d’un mot sturmien quelconque . Soit un entier . Nous obtenons en deuxième lieu une formule explicite pour le développement en fraction continue de tout nombre réel dont la suite des chiffres en base forme une suite sturmienne sur l’alphabet . On généralise ainsi un résultat classique de Böhmer qui traitait le cas particulier où est une suite sturmienne caractéristique. Nous en déduisons une formule donnant l’exposant d’irrationalité de en fonction de la pente et de l’intercept de .
Let be the continued fraction expansion of an irrational real number . It is well-known that the characteristic Sturmian word of slope is the limit of a sequence of finite words , with of length (the denominator of the -th convergent to ) being a suitable concatenation of copies of and one copy of . Our first result extends this to any Sturmian word . Let be an integer. Our second result gives the continued fraction expansion of any real number whose -ary expansion is a Sturmian word over the alphabet . This extends a classical result of Böhmer who considered only the case where is characteristic. As a consequence, we obtain a formula for the irrationality exponent of in terms of the slope and the intercept of .
