We deduce $q$-continued fractions $S_{1}(q)$, $S_{2}(q)$ and $S_{3}(q)$ of order fourteen, and continued fractions $V_{1}(q)$, $V_{2}(q)$ and $V_{3}(q)$ of order twenty-eight from a general continued fraction identity of Ramanujan. We…
Applying Zeilberger's algorithm of creative telescoping to a family of certain very-well-poised hypergeometric series involving linear forms in Catalan's constant with rational coefficients, we obtain a second-order difference equation for…
By means of the extended Gould-Hsu inverse series relations, we find that the dual relation of Dougall's summation theorem for the well--poised $_7F_6$-series can be utilized to construct numerous interesting Ramanujan--like infinite series…
In a partially ordered semigroup with the duality (or polarity) transform, it is possible to define a generalisation of continued fractions. General sufficient conditions for convergence of continued fractions with deterministic terms are…
By using Euler's approach of using Euclid's algorithm to expand a power series into a continued fraction, we show how to derive Ramanujan's $q$-continued fractions in a systematic manner.
In this paper, we clarified the relationship between continued fractions, determinants, and identities, making it easier to apply these methods systematically in other settings. In particular, we studied finite continued fractions from the…
We use the method of generating functions to find the limit of a $q$-continued fraction, with 4 parameters, as a ratio of certain $q$-series. We then use this result to give new proofs of several known continued fraction identities,…
By employing the classical tools from the theory of $q$-series and theta functions, new fascinating identities on different continued fractions can be achieved. In this article, we use the product expansion of Jacobi's theta function to…
In this paper, Euler transforms the divergent series in the title, and thereby dervies the well known continued fraction expansion for pi/4 from Leibniz's series. The paper is translated from Euler's Latin originial into German.
We propose and study a generalized continued fraction algorithm that can be executed in an arbitrary imaginary quadratic field, the novelty being a non-restriction to the five Euclidean cases. Many hallmark properties of classical continued…
We introduce a $q$-analog of the higher continued fractions introduced by the last three authors in a previous work (together with Gregg Musiker), which are simultaneously a generalization of the $q$-rational numbers of Morier-Genoud and…
Recently, A. I. Aptekarev and his collaborators found a sequence of rational approximations to Euler's constant $\gamma$ defined by a third-order homogeneous linear recurrence. In this paper, we give a new interpretation of Aptekarev's…
We study the properties of a general continued fraction of Ramanujan. In some certain cases we evaluate it completely.
If the odd and even parts of a continued fraction converge to different values, the continued fraction may or may not converge in the general sense. We prove a theorem which settles the question of general convergence for a wide class of…
In this article we present evaluations of continued fractions studied by Ramanujan. More precisely we give the complete polynomial equations of Rogers-Ramanujan and other continued fractions, using tools from the elementary theory of the…
In this note, by making use of a known hypergeometric series identity, I prove two Ramanujan-type series for the Catalan's constant. The convergence rate of these central binomial series surpasses those of all known similar series,…
We derived $q$-continued fractions $X_i(q)$ of order thirty-four and continued fractions $Y_i(q)$ of order sixty-eight from a general continued fraction identity of Ramanujan, where $i=1,2,3,4,5,6,7$ and $8$. We established some…
In this article we study solutions to second order linear difference equations with variable coefficients. Under mild conditions we provide closed form solutions using finite continued fraction representations. The proof of the results are…
There are infinite processes (matrix products, continued fractions, $(r,s)$-matrix continued fractions, recurrence sequences) which, under certain circumstances, do not converge but instead diverge in a very predictable way. We give a…
By means of a variational approach we find new series representations both for well known mathematical constants, such as $\pi$ and the Catalan constant, and for mathematical functions, such as the Riemann zeta function. The series that we…
