Abstract.
Let $p$ be a prime and $l\in\mathbb{N}$. Let \begin{equation*}\label{X_n}
\mathcal{X}_{p^l}=\left\{\frac{x}{y}:~x,y\in\mathbb{Z},~ y>0,~\mathrm{gcd}(x,y)=1~\textnormal{and}~{p^l}|y\right\}\cup\{\infty\}.
\end{equation*}
The set $\mX_{p^l}$ is the vertex set of a connected graph where vertices $x/y$ and $u/v$ are adjacent if and only if $ xv-uy=\pm p^l.$ These graphs give rise to a family of continued fraction, namely, $\f_{p^l}$-continued fractions \cite{seema_fareysubgraphs}.
Let $\mathcal{X}$ be a subset of the extended set of rational numbers. A {\it best $\mathcal{X}$-approximation} of a real number is a notion which is analogous to best rational approximation.
An element $u/v$ of $\mX$ is called a \textit{best $\mX$-approximation} of $x\in\R$, if for every $u'/v'\in\mX$ different from $u/v$ with $0< v' \le v$, we have $|vx-u|<|v'x-u'|$.
In this talk, we will discuss the existence and uniqueness of $\f_{p^l}$-continued fractions and their approximation properties.
