Abstract

In this paper, we investigate a decomposition of the space of reduced rational functions of fixed degree into continued fraction cells. We give a variety of combinatorial formulas pertaining to this decomposition and investigate the effect of certain scalings on the decomposition. We conjecture that the continued fraction decomposition is indeed a cell decomposition in the topological sense. We provide evidence in low dimensions for this to be true.
