The Convergence Behavior of $q$-Continued Fractions on the Unit Circle
Abstract
In a previous paper, we showed the existence of an uncountable set of points on the unit circle at which the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction does not converge to a finite value. In this present paper, we generalise this result to a wider class of -continued fractions, a class which includes the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction and the three Ramanujan-Selberg continued fractions. We show, for each -continued fraction, , in this class, that there is an uncountable set of points, , on the unit circle such that if then does not converge to a finite value. We discuss the implications of our theorems for the convergence of other -continued fractions, for example the G\"ollnitz-Gordon continued fraction, on the unit circle.
