We consider two classes of $q$-continued fraction whose odd and even parts are limit 1-periodic for $|q|>1$, and give theorems which guarantee the convergence of the continued fraction, or of its odd- and even parts, at points outside the…

Fundamental to the theory of continued fractions is the fact that every infinite continued fraction with positive integer coefficients converges; however, it is unknown precisely which continued fractions with integer coefficients (not…

We consider conditions for the convergence of sequences in terms of positive and alternating Perron expansions ($P$-representation and $P^-$-representation). These conditions are crucial to determine the continuity of functions that are…

The connection between a Taylor series and a continued-fraction involves a nonlinear relation between the Taylor coefficients $\{ a_n \}$ and the continued-fraction coefficients $\{ b_n \}$. In many instances it turns out that this…

We consider series of the form $$ \frac{p}{q} +\sum_{j=2}^\infty \frac{1}{x_j}, $$ where $x_1=q$ and the integer sequence $(x_n)$ satisfies a certain non-autonomous recurrence of second order, which entails that $x_n|x_{n+1}$ for $n\geq 1$.…
