FORMULA

G.f.: 1/U(0) where U(k)=  1 - x + x*(k+1)/(1 - x*(k+1)/U(k+1)); (continued fraction, 2-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 14 2012

G.f.: 1/U(0) where U(k)= 1 - x^2 + x^2*(2*k+1)*(2*k+2)/(1 + x^2*(2*k+1)*(2*k+2)/U(k+1)); (continued fraction, 2-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 15 2012

E.g.f.: (1-x)/U(0) where U(k)= 1 - x/(1 - x/(x - (2*k+1)*(2*k+2)/U(k+1)); (continued fraction, 3-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 17 2012

E.g.f.: 1 - x^2/U(0) where U(k)=  (2*k+1)*(2*k+2) + x^2 - x^2*(2*k+1)*(2*k+2)/U(k+1) ; (continued fraction, Euler's 1=st kind, 1-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 19 2012

E.g.f.: 1/U(0) where U(k)= 1 + x^2/(2*(2*k+1)*(4*k+1) - 2*x^2*(2*k+1)*(4*k+1)/(x^2 + 4*(4*k+3)*(k+1)/U(k+1))); (continued fraction, 3rd kind, 3-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 21 2012

E.g.f.: (2 + x^4/(U(0)*(x^2-2) - 2))/(2-x^2) where U(k)= 4*k+4 + 1/(1 + x^2/(2 - x^2 + (2*k+3)*(2*k+4)/U(k+1))); (continued fraction, 3rd kind, 3-step). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Oct 28 2012

G.f.: 1/G(0) where G(k) = 1 + x^2*(2*k+1)^2/(1 + x^2*(2*k+2)^2/G(k+1) ); (continued fraction due to T. J. Stieltjes). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Feb 05 2013

G.f.: 1/S(0) where S(k) = 1 + x^2*(k+1)^2/S(k+1); (continued fraction due to T. J. Stieltjes). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Feb 05 2013

G.f.: 1 - x/(1+x) + x/(1+x)/Q(0), where Q(k)= 1 - x + x*(k+2)/(1 - x*(k+1)/Q(k+1)); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Apr 22 2013

G.f.: -1/x/Q(0), where Q(k)= -1/x + (k+1)^2/Q(k+1); (continued fraction due to T. J. Stieltjes). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Apr 25 2013

G.f.: 1/(1-x)/Q(0) + 1/(1-x), where Q(k)= 1 - 1/x + (k+1)*(k+2)/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Apr 26 2013

G.f.: x/(x-1)/Q(0) + 1/(1-x), where Q(k)= 1 - x + x^2*(k+1)*(k+2)/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, Apr 27 2013

G.f.: 1-x/(1+x) + x/(1+x)/Q(0), where Q(k)= 1 + x + (k+1)*(k+2)*x^2/Q(k+1); (continued fraction). - Sergei N. Gladkovskii, May 03 2013
