The Last of the Hypergeometric Continued Fractions *
نویسنده
چکیده
A contiguous relation for complementry pairs of very well poised balanced 10φ9 basic hypergeometric functions is used to derive an explict expression for the associated continued fraction. This generalizes the continued fraction results associated with both Ramanujan’s Entry 40 and Askey-Wilson polynomials which can be recovered as limits. Associated with our continued fraction results there are systems of biorthogonal rational functions that have yet to be derived.

Continued Fractions of Tails of Hypergeometric Series
The tails of the Taylor series for many standard functions such as arctan and log can be expressed as continued fractions in a variety of ways. A surprising side effect is that some of these continued fractions provide a dramatic acceleration for the underlying power series. These investigations were motivated by a surprising observation about Gregory’s series. Gregory’s series for π, truncated...
متن کاملBrownian motion on time scales, basic hypergeometric functions, and some continued fractions of Ramanujan
Abstract: Motivated by Lévy’s characterization of Brownian motion on the line, we propose an analogue of Brownian motion that has as its state space an arbitrary unbounded closed subset of the line: such a process will a martingale, has the identity function as its quadratic variation process, and is “continuous” in the sense that its sample paths don’t skip over points. We show that there is a...
متن کاملTransitory minimal solutions of hypergeometric recursions and pseudoconvergence of associated continued fractions
Three term recurrence relations yn+1+bnyn+anyn−1 = 0 can be used for computing recursively a great number of special functions. Depending on the asymptotic nature of the function to be computed, different recursion directions need to be considered: backward for minimal solutions and forward for dominant solutions. However, some solutions interchange their role for finite values of n with respec...
متن کاملMapping Properties of Hypergeometric Functions and Convolutions of Starlike or Convex Functions of Order alpha
We determine the order of convexity of hypergeometric functions z 7→ F (a, b, c, z) as well as the order of starlikeness of shifted hypergeometric functions z 7→ zF (a, b, c, z), for certain ranges of the real parameters a, b and c. As a consequence we obtain the sharp lower bound for the order of convexity of the convolution (f ∗ g)(z) := ∑∞ n=0 anbnz n when f(z) = ∑∞ n=0 anz n is convex of or...
متن کاملAddition Theorems via Continued Fractions
We show connections between a special type of addition formulas and a theorem of Stieltjes and Rogers. We use different techniques to derive the desirable addition formulas. We apply our approach to derive special addition theorems for Bessel functions and confluent hypergeometric functions. We also derive several addition theorems for basic hypergeometric functions. Applications to the evaluat...
