Integer Sequences Connected to the Laplace Continued Fraction and Ramanujan’s Identity
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider integer sequences connected to the famous Laplace continued fraction for the function R(t) = ∫∞ t φ(x)dx/φ(t), where φ(t) = e −t2/2/ √ 2π is the standard normal density. We compute the generating functions for these sequences and study their relation to the Hermite and Bessel polynomials. Using the master equation for the generating functions, we find a new proof of the Ramanujan identity.

On the 2- and 4-dissections of Ramanujan’s continued fraction and its reciprocal
We present elementary proofs, using only Jacobi’s triple product identity, of four identities of Ramanujan and eight identities of Hirschhorn relating to the 2dissection and the 4-dissection of Ramanujan’s continued fraction and its reciprocal, and of two identities from Ramanujan’s famous list of forty.
متن کاملOn the real quadratic fields with certain continued fraction expansions and fundamental units
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the real quadratic number fields $Q(sqrt{d})$ which contain the specific form of the continued fractions expansions of integral basis element where $dequiv 2,3( mod 4)$ is a square free positive integer. Besides, the present paper deals with determining the fundamental unit$$epsilon _{d}=left(t_d+u_dsqrt{d}right) 2left.right > 1$$and $n_d$ and $m_d...
متن کاملContinued Fractions with Three Limit Points
The research described in this paper was motivated by an enigmatic entry in Ramanujan’s lost notebook [11, p. 45] in which he claimed, in an unorthodox fashion, that a certain q-continued fraction possesses three limit points. More precisely, he claimed that as n tends to ∞ in the three residue classes modulo 3, the nth partial quotients tend, respectively, to three distinct limits, which he ex...
متن کاملContinued Fractions with Multiple Limits
For integers m ≥ 2, we study divergent continued fractions whose numerators and denominators in each of the m arithmetic progressions modulo m converge. Special cases give, among other things, an infinite sequence of divergence theorems, the first of which is the classical Stern-Stolz theorem. We give a theorem on a class of Poincaré type recurrences which shows that they tend to limits when th...
متن کاملON RAMANUJAN ’ S CONTINUED FRACTION FOR ( q 2 ; q 3 ) ∞ / ( q ; q 3 ) ∞
The continued fraction in the title is perhaps the deepest of Ramanujan’s q-continued fractions. We give a new proof of this continued fraction, more elementary and shorter than the only known proof by Andrews, Berndt, Jacobsen, and Lamphere. On page 45 in his lost notebook, Ramanujan states an asymptotic formula for a continued fraction generalizing that in the title. The second main goal of t...
