We find a generating function expressed as a continued fraction that enumerates ordered trees by the number of vertices at different levels. Several Catalan problems are mapped to an ordered-tree problem and their generating functions also…
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,…
We derive continued fractions for partition generating functions, utilizing both Euler's techniques and Ramanujan's techniques. Although our results are for integer partitions there is scope to extend this work to vector partitions,…
We exhibit a bijection between 132-avoiding permutations and Dyck paths. Using this bijection, it is shown that all the recently discovered results on generating functions for 132-avoiding permutations with a given number of occurrences of…
Several continued fraction expansions for $e$ have been produced by an automated conjecture generator (ACG) called \emph{The Ramanujan Machine}. Some of these were already known, some have recently been proved and some remain unproven.…
In a recent paper G. Bhatnagar has given simple proofs of some of Ramanujan's continued fractions. In this note we show that some variants of these continued fractions are generating functions of q-Schroeder-like numbers.
The Ramanujan Machine project predicts new continued fraction representations of numbers expressed by important mathematical constants. Generally, the value of a continued fraction is found by reducing it to a second order linear difference…
We study the properties of a general continued fraction of Ramanujan. In some certain cases we evaluate it completely.
Let f_n^r(k) be the number of 132-avoiding permutations on n letters that contain exactly r occurrences of 12... k, and let F_r(x;k) and F(x,y;k) be the generating functions defined by $F_r(x;k)=\sum_{n\gs0} f_n^r(k)x^n$ and…
Via the MC-algorithm, in this paper we produce seven continued fraction formulae involving products and quotients of three gamma functions with three parameters, and another is an extension of Entry 34 in Chapter 12 of Ramanujan's second…
In some recent papers, the authors considered regular continued fractions of the form \[ [a_{0};\underbrace{a,...,a}_{m}, \underbrace{a^{2},...,a^{2}}_{m}, \underbrace{a^{3},...,a^{3}}_{m}, ... ], \] where $a_{0} \geq 0$, $a \geq 2$ and $m…
We study a continued fraction due to Ramanujan, that he recorded as Entry 12 in Chapter 16 of his second notebook. It is presented in Part III of Berndt's volumes on Ramanujan's notebooks. We give two alternate approaches to proving…
In this paper, we represent a continued fraction expression of Mathieu series by a continued fraction formula of Ramanujan. As application, we obtain some new bounds for Mathieu series.
We show that very simple continued fractions can be obtained for the ordinary generating functions enumerating permutations or D-permutations with a large number of independent statistics, when each cycle is given a weight $-1$. The proof…
We study orthogonal polynomials associated with a continued fraction due to Hirschhorn. Hirschhorn's continued fraction contains as special cases the famous Rogers--Ramanujan continued fraction and two of Ramanujan's generalizations. The…
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…
In Entry 16, Chapter 16 of his notebooks, Ramanujan himself gave a formula for the convergents of the famous Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction. We provide a similar formula for the convergents of a more general continued fraction, namely…
We give continued fraction expansions of the generating functions of Bernoulli numbers, Cauchy numbers, Euler numbers, harmonic numbers, and their generalized or related numbers. In particular, we focus on explicit forms of the convergents…
If a continued fraction $K_{n=1}^{\infty} a_{n}/b_{n}$ is known to converge but its limit is not easy to determine, it may be easier to use an extension of $K_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}/b_{n}$ to find the limit. By an extension of…
We give an improved algorithm for counting the number of $1324$-avoiding permutations, resulting in 5 further terms of the generating function. We analyse the known coefficients and find compelling evidence that unlike other classical…
