A Birth and Death Process Related to the Rogers-Ramanujan Continued Fraction
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 probabilities and the (quasi) stationary distribution is determined. For the transient case the birth and death process can be seen as a model in queuing theory where the length of the queue encourages customers to join the queue (the more the merrier).

On the Generalized Rogers–ramanujan Continued Fraction
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 e...

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...

Continued fractions (CFs) play a fundamental role in many investigations due to its applications to diverse fields like number theory, special functions, approximations, moment problems, digital networks, statistics, and signal processing. Their importance has grown further with the advent of fast computing facilities. The problem of converting a continued fraction into a power series is import...
متن کاملOn the Divergence of the Rogers-ramanujan Continued Fraction on the Unit Circle
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) ...
