Conversion from binomial expansion to continued fraction

 

We all know generalized binomial theorem

 

   for

or

   for

 

When y=1 and we set r=y

 

   for

 

That is

 

 

Arranging the terms, we can regard it as

 

 

Now we apply one of the formulas from series to continued fraction. The formula is

 

   (regular expression)

   in special form

 

as in 0218. We set i={1,yx,(y-1)x,(y-2)x,(y-3)x,. . .} and j={1,1,2,3,4,. . .}.

 

Then we have

 

 

Thus

 

or

  in special form

 

Recall

 

 

 

in 0122. Now a1=x*y and b1=1.
