Commentary

"M. Charves" is how the author is indicated for the article "Démonstration de la périodicité des fractions continues, engendrées par les racines d'une équation du deuxième degré" in the Bulletin des Sciences Mathématiques et Astronomiques, Serie 2, Volume 1 (1877) no. 1, pp. 41-43. This is reflected in the zbMATH and MaRDI entries.

The "M." most likely stands for "Monsieur", while "Charves" could be a spelling variant of "Charve", hinting at a potential relationship with Léon Charve, a mathematician working on similar problems around the same time.
