Note on some continued fractions of the Rogers-Ramanujan type
The author extends the results of \textit{B. Gordon} [Duke Math. J. 32, 741--748 (1965; Zbl 0178.33404)] to include the more general continued fraction \[ F(a,b,x) = 1 + ax + \frac{abx^2}{1+ax^3 +}\cdots \frac{abx^{2n}}{1+ax^{2n+1}+}\cdots \] It is shown that for \(\vert x\vert<1\), \(F(a,b,x)=P(a,b,x)/P(ax^2,b,x)\), with \[ P(a,b,x) = \sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(-bx)_n}{(x^2)_n} a^nx^{n^2},\quad P(ax^2,b,x) \ne 0, \] where \((a)_n = (1 - a) (1 - ax^2) \cdots (1 - ax^{2n-2})\), \((a)_0 = 1\). Infinite product expansions are then found for \(F(x^{-1}, -x,x) - 1\), \(1 +bx/F(x,b,x)\), and \(F(-1, -1,x)\). For example, \[ 1 + bx/F(x,b,x)= \prod_{n=0}^ \infty \frac{1 + bx^{4n+1}}{1 + bx^{4n+3}}. \]
