The Balkans Continued Fraction

Number Theory 2025-06-25 v13

Abstract

In a previous escapade we gave a collection of continued fractions involving Catalan's constant. This paper provides more general formulae governing those continued fractions. Having distinguished different cases associated to regions in the plan, we nickname those continued fractions \enquote{The Balkans} as they divide into areas which are related but still different in nature. Because we do not provide formal proofs of those machine-constructed formulae we do not claim them to be theorems. Still, each and every proposed formula was extensively tested numerically.
