Claims
Every element of these spectra is realized simultaneously as a Lagrange constant of a quadratic irrational and as a Markov constant of a real indefinite binary quadratic form.
The snake-graph formalism correctly extends the classical Christoffel-word description so that the key approximation and form properties carry over to the generalized equations with parameters k1, k2, k3.
The paper constructs generalized discrete Markov spectra for the family of equations x² + y² + z² + k1 yz + k2 zx + k3 xy = (3 + k1 + k2 + k3) xyz, with each spectrum element realized as both a Lagrange constant of a quadratic irrational and a Markov constant of an indefinite binary quadratic form.
