A continued fraction of order twelve

M. Mahadeva Naika, B. Dharmendra, K. Shivashankara (2008)

Open Mathematics

In this paper, we establish several explicit evaluations, reciprocity theorems and integral representations for a continued fraction of order twelve which are analogues to Rogers-Ramanujan’s continued fraction and Ramanujan’s cubic continued fraction.

A note on rational surgeries on a Hopf link

Velibor Bojković, Jovana Nikolić, Mladen Zekić (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

It is clear that every rational surgery on a Hopf link in 3 -sphere is a lens space surgery. In this note we give an explicit computation which lens space is a resulting manifold. The main tool we use is the calculus of continued fractions. As a corollary, we recover the (well-known) result on the criterion for when rational surgery on a Hopf link gives the 3 -sphere.

A recovery of Brouncker's proof for the quadrature continued fraction.

Sergey Khrushchev (2006)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

350 years ago in Spring of 1655 Sir William Brouncker on a request by John Wallis obtained a beautiful continued fraction for 4/π. Brouncker never published his proof. Many sources on the history of Mathematics claim that this proof was lost forever. In this paper we recover the original proof from Wallis' remarks presented in his Arithmetica Infinitorum. We show that Brouncker's and Wallis' formulas can be extended to MacLaurin's sinusoidal spirals via related Euler's products. We derive Ramanujan's...
