On a Continued Fraction of Stieltjes

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  03 November 2016

Extract

1. One of the two curious self-reciprocal formulae stated by Rama-nujan,

where

of which I have recently given a proof, can be established by using a result proved by Stieltjes that, if x > 0, m ≥ 0, 0≤a≤ 1,

The proof only requires the above result in the case in which m = 1, a = 0. While seeking an extension of the result (1. 1), I have obtained an expression for the continued fraction (1. 3) in the form of an infinite series.
