Continuants and convergence of certain continued fractions

Number Theory 2022-10-19 v1

Abstract

We give a concise introduction to the theory of continuants and show how Perron used them in his proof of Tietze theorem on the convergence of infinite semi-regular continued fractions, as well as for the study of the convergence of purely periodic continued fractions.
