"base" expansions vs. continued fractions (Are any the same?)

61 Views Asked by At

Does anyone know of any examples of irrational numbers for which their continued fractions "equal" their expansion in some base-number system? More concretely, does there exists some $x\in\mathbb{R}\setminus\mathbb{Q}$, and some $p\in\mathbb{Z}^+$, for which $$ x=[a_0;a_1,a_2,a_3,\ldots] = \frac{a_0}{p^0}+\frac{a_1}{p^1}+\frac{a_2}{p^2}+\frac{a_3}{p^3}+\cdots, $$ where $[a_0;a_1,a_2,a_3,\ldots]$ means $$ a_0 + \frac{1}{a_1+\frac{1}{a_2+\frac{1}{a_3+\ddots}}} $$
