Convergence of associated continued fractions revised

From MaRDI portal





In this nicely written paper, the authors bring together alternate proofs of many famous theorems concerning the convergence of the associated continued fraction \[ 1\over\displaystyle \lambda-b_1 -{\strut a_1^2\over \displaystyle \lambda-b_2 -{\strut a_2^2\over \displaystyle \lambda-b_3 - \cdots}}. \] The \(\{a_n\}\) and \(\{b_n\}\) are real sequences with \(a_n>0\). The proofs approach the problems on hand from the viewpoint of the corresponding symmetric tridiagonal matrix \(T\) \[ T=\begin{pmatrix} b_1 & a_1 & & \\ a_1 & b_2 & a_2 & \\ & \ddots & \ddots & \ddots\end{pmatrix} \] and its resolvent \((\lambda-T)^{-1}\).
