By applying the MC algorithm and the Bauer-Muir transformation for continued fractions, in this paper we shall give six examples to show how to establish an infinite set of continued fraction formulas for certain Ramanujan-type series, such…
Hurwitz (1887) defined a continued fraction algorithm for complex numbers which is better behaved in many respects than a more "natural" extension of the classical continued fraction algorithm to the complex plane would be. Although the…
We prove a continued fraction expansion for a certain q--tangent function that was conjectured by Prodinger.
This is an English translation from the Latin original of Leonhard Euler's ``Solutio facilior problematis Diophantei circa triangulum, in quo rectae ex angulis latera opposita bisecantes rationaliter exprimantur''. In this paper, Euler…
In this paper we show that various continued fractions for the quotient of general Ramanujan functions $G(aq,b,\l q)/G(a,b,\l)$ may be derived from each other via Bauer-Muir transformations. The separate convergence of numerators and…
We consider the geometric generalization of ordinary continued fraction to the multidimensional case introduced by F. Klein in 1895. A multidimensional periodic continued fraction is the union of sails with some special group acting freely…
Corrections are brought to an article of Friesen on continued fractions of a given period.
Proper continued fractions are generalized continued fractions with positive integer numerators $a_i$ and integer denominators with $b_i\geq a_i$. In this paper we study the strength of approximation of irrational numbers to their…
Motivated by recent developments in the metrical theory of continued fractions for real numbers concerning the growth of consecutive partial quotients, we consider its analogue over the field of formal Laurent series. Let $A_n(x)$ be the…
The aim of this review, based on a series of four lectures held at the 22nd "Saalburg" Summer School (2016), is to cover selected topics in the theory of perturbation series and their summation. The first part is devoted to strategies for…
We study problems of the calculus of variations and optimal control within the framework of time scales. Specifically, we obtain Euler-Lagrange type equations for both Lagrangians depending on higher order delta derivatives and…
The presence of large partial quotients can invalidate many classical limit theorems in the metric theory of continued fractions. A commonly employed strategy to overcome this problem is to discard the largest partial quotient when…
In this paper, we solve in the convergence set, the fractional logistic equation making use of Euler's numbers. To our knowledge, the answer is still an open question. The key point is that the coefficients can be connected with Euler's…
The aim of this paper is to study the convergence and divergence of the Rogers-Ramanujan and the generalized Rogers-Ramanujan continued fractions on the unit circle. We provide an example of an uncountable set of measure zero on which the…
The continued fraction mapping maps a number in the interval $[0,1)$ to the sequence of its partial quotients. When restricted to the set of irrationals, which is a subspace of the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}$, the continued fraction…
In this paper, we present some generalizations of Lagrange's theorem in the classical theory of continued fractions motivated by the geometric interpretation of the classical theory in terms of closed geodesics on the modular curve. As a…
Euler defines a function f(x) somehow as an infinite product and a generalization of [x], where [x] ist, what we now call following Legendre the Gamma-Funktion. He gets some recursive relationships for f(x), by applying some very nice…
The two-fold aim of the paper is to unify and generalize on the one hand the double integrals of Beukers for $\zeta(2)$ and $\zeta(3),$ and those of the second author for Euler's constant $\gamma$ and its alternating analog $\ln(4/\pi),$…
Dedekind sums are arithmetic sums that were first introduced by Dedekind in the context of elliptic functions and modular forms, and later recognized to be surprisingly ubiquitous. Among the variations and generalizations introduced since,…
In this article we continue a previous work in which we have generalized the Rogers Ramanujan continued fraction (RR) introducing what we call, the Ramanujan-Quantities (RQ). We use the Mathematica package to give several modular equations…
