Title: Continuity of the continued fraction mapping revisited

Authors: Min Woong Ahn
Abstract: The continued fraction mapping maps a number in the interval $[0,1)$ to the sequence of its partial quotients. When restricted to the set of irrationals, which is a subspace of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}$, the continued fraction mapping is a homeomorphism onto the product space $\mathbb{N}^{\mathbb{N}}$, where $\mathbb{N}$ is a discrete space. In this short note, we examine the continuity of the continued fraction mapping, addressing both irrational and rational points of the unit interval.
