This class includes the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction and the three Ramanujan-Selberg continued fraction. We discuss the implications of our theorems for the general convergence of other $q$-continued fractions, for example the G\\\"{o}llnitz-Gordon continued fraction, on the unit circle.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-12-28T02:49:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11A55" ], "keywords": [ "unit circle", "general sense", "divergence", "rogers-ramanujan continued fraction", "ramanujan-selberg continued fraction" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
