G-continued fractions for basic hypergeometric functions II

In this paper we apply a modification of a generalized Pringsheim's theorem to obtain a G-continued fraction expansion for the quotient of two contiguous basic hypergeometric functions in arbitrarily many variables. As an application we obtain a G-continued fraction extension of the Rogers–Rama...

Description
Summary:In this paper we apply a modification of a generalized Pringsheim's theorem to obtain a G-continued fraction expansion for the quotient of two contiguous basic hypergeometric functions in arbitrarily many variables. As an application we obtain a G-continued fraction extension of the Rogers–Ramanujan continued fraction.
