The function defined by Minkowski for the purpose of mapping the quadratic surds in the open interval
into the rational numbers of
in a continuous, order-preserving manner.
takes a number having continued fraction
to the number
![]() |
(1) |
The function satisfies the following properties (Salem 1943).
1. is strictly increasing.
2. If is rational, then
is of the form
, with
and
integers.
3. If is a quadratic surd, then the continued fraction is periodic, and hence
is rational.
4. The function is purely singular (Denjoy 1938).
can also be constructed as

where and
are two consecutive irreducible fractions from the Farey sequence. At the
th stage of this definition,
is defined for
values of
, and the ordinates corresponding to these values are
for
