On the Generalized Rogers–ramanujan Continued Fraction
نویسنده
چکیده
On page 26 in his lost notebook, Ramanujan states an asymptotic formula for the generalized Rogers–Ramanujan continued fraction. This formula is proved and made slightly more precise. A second primary goal is to prove another continued fraction representation for the Rogers–Ramanujan continued fraction conjectured by R. Blecksmith and J. Brillhart. Two further entries in the lost notebook are examined. One of them is an identity bearing a superficial resemblance to the generating function for the generalized Rogers–Ramanujan continued fraction. Thus, our third main goal is to establish, with the help of an idea of F. Franklin, a partition bijection to prove this identity.

On the 1D and 2D Rogers-Ramanujan Continued Fractions
In this paper the classical and generalized numerical Rogers Ramanujan continued fractions are extended to a polynomial continued fraction in one and two dimensions. Using the new continued fractions, the fundamental recurrence formulas and a fast algorithm, based on matrix formulations, are given for the computation of their transfer functions. The presented matrix formulations can provide a n...
متن کاملON THE DIVERGENCE IN THE GENERAL SENSE OF q-CONTINUED FRACTION ON THE UNIT CIRCLE
We show, for each q-continued fraction G(q) in a certain class of continued fractions, that there is an uncountable set of points on the unit circle at which G(q) diverges in the general sense. This class includes the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction and the three Ramanujan-Selberg continued fraction. We discuss the implications of our theorems for the general convergence of other q-continue...

This paper is an intensive study of the convergence of the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction. Let the continued fraction expansion of any irrational number t ∈ (0, 1) be denoted by [0, a1(t), a2(t), · · · ] and let the i-th convergent of this continued fraction expansion be denoted by ci(t)/di(t). Let S = {t ∈ (0, 1) : ai+1(t) ≥ φi infinitely often}, where φ = ( √ 5+1)/2. Let YS = {exp(2πit) ...
متن کاملA Birth and Death Process Related to the Rogers-Ramanujan Continued Fraction
Time dependent system size probabilities of a birth and death process related to the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction are obtained. The range for the parameter in this continued fraction is obtained to ensure the positivity of the recursively defined birth and death rates. The general behavior of the birth and death rates is described and the asymptotic behavior of the transition probabiliti...
