....formed by any three successive best approximation triples is always unity. I have not been able to nd any other pair showing such regularity. I will discuss this eld further in section 7. It is known that cubic number elds play a special role here [Adams 1969b, Adams 1969a, Adams 1971, Adams 1980, Cusick 1974b, Cusick 1977] and that pairs such as the above produce some kind of approximate periodicity. Figure 1 shows the function c( q) at best approximants for the elds of discriminant 23; 31; 44; 49; 81 with the integral bases given in Table 1. I investigated periodicity by looking ....
