چکیده

General T-fractions and M-fractions whose approximants form diagonals in two-point Pad6 tables are subsumed here under the study of Perron-Carath6odory continued fractions (PC-fractions) whose approximants form diagonals in weak two-point Pad6 tables. The correspondence of PCfractions with pairs of formal power series is characterized in terms of Toeplitz determinants. For the subclass of positive PC-fractions, it is shown that even ordered approximants converge to Carath6odory functions. This result is used to establish sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to the trigonometric moment problem and to provide a new starting point for the study of Szeg6 polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle. Szeg6 polynomials are shown to be the odd ordered denominators of positive PC-fractions. Positive PCfractions are also related to Wiener filters used in digital signal processing [3], [251.

TENSION TRIGONOMETRIC SPLINES INTERPOLATION METHOD FOR SOLVING A LINEAR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM

By using the trigonometric uniform splines of order 3 with a real tension factor, a numericalmethod is developed for solving a linear second order boundary value problems (2VBP) withDirichlet, Neumann and Cauchy types boundary conditions. The moment at the knots isapproximated by central finite-difference method. The order of convergence of the methodand the theory is illustrated by solving tes...

Free Vibration Analysis of Composite Plates with Artificial Springs by Trigonometric Ritz Method

In this paper free vibration analysis of two rectangular isotropic plates, which are connected to each other by two translational and rotational springs along the edges, are investigated. The equation of motion and associated boundary and continuity conditions are derived using the extended Hamilton principle. To solve the eigenvalue problem, the Ritz method is utilized. Numerical investigation...

9 F eb 2 00 9 Fibonacci numbers , Euler ’ s 2 - periodic continued fractions and moment sequences ∗

We prove that certain sequences of finite continued fractions associated with a 2-periodic continued fraction with period a, b > 0 are moment sequences of discrete signed measures supported in the interval [−1, 1], and we give necessary and sufficient conditions in order that these measures are positive. For a = b = 1 this proves that the sequence of ratios Fn+1/Fn+2, n ≥ 0 of consecutive Fibon...

The Impact of Stieltjes' Work on Continued Fractions and Orthogonal Polynomials: Additional Material

In the recent new edition of the collected works of T.J. Stieltjes, one of us gave an impression of the impact of Stieltjes' work a century after his death 43]. In this paper we give an update and mention some observations which were missing from 43] and some results which appeared during the last two years and which are directly related to Stieltjes' work. In particular there is a large sectio...

A Note on Three Families of Orthogonal Polynomials defined by Circular Functions, and Their Moment Sequences

Using the language of exponential Riordan arrays, we study three distinct families of orthogonal polynomials defined by trigonometric functions. We study the moment sequences of theses families, finding continued fraction expressions for their generating functions, and calculate the Hankel transforms of these moment sequences. Results related to the Euler or zigzag numbers, as well as the gener...
