Gauss's continued fraction
We continue to start with
for i=1,2,3,4,c
where fi is a function and ki is a constant and x is a variable that is used in function fi.
![]()
or

This can be recursively expanded as
or
for i=1
We now consider the following two identities
![]()
and
![]()
and use them by turns. That is
, and +1 to
both of a and b
, and +1 to
b only
, and +1 to
both of a and b
, and +1 to

, and +1 to
both of a and b
, and +1 to

For ![]()
we can regard kifs as
![]()
where a pattern on numerator appears alternately. That is, we can expand it as

or
in special
form
Applying gamma-shaped multipliers repeatedly, we get

or
in special form
Thus
in special form
Starting from the second identity, we also can get

or
in special

Applying gamma-shaped multipliers repeatedly, we get

or

Thus
