Some identities for \(G\)-continued fractions and generalized continued fractions





Generalized continued fractions and \(G\)-continued fractions are two different types of generalizations of continued fractions, the first one due to M. G. de Bruin, the second one introduced by P. Levrie and R. Piessens. Both types are related to higher order linear recurrence relations (whereas the ordinary ones are related to second order relations). Ordinary continued fractions are often defined by using linear fractional transformations. In this paper a generalization of linear fractional transformations is studied, and a certain (cross ratio) invariance property is proved. This, in turn, is used to prove several identities for \(G\)-continued fractions. By using the relationship between \(G\)-continued fractions and generalized continued fractions an identity for the latter is proved. The identities are of importance for instance in questions of convergence or of convergence acceleration.
