Irrational Acceleration of a Continued Fraction of $\pi$

Number Theory 2024-06-06 v2

Abstract

An application of (iterated) Bauer-Muir acceleration can give an Ap\'ery-like continued fraction for π\pi with irrational coefficients, and much faster convergence. It can be considered a generalized continued fraction with the same matrix representation as the standard case, but the dimension increased due to irrationality. The construction is also given for ln(2)\ln(2) and 23\sqrt[3]{2}.
