If you use all the convergents of the simple continued fraction of a positive real constant as the terms of a generalized continued fraction, then likewise use the new convergents in another generalized continued fraction, and so on... ad infinitum, for all numbers in the unit interval , you get the convergents constant for all numbers of that interval. (Cf. Talk:Table_of_convergents_constants#Open_Problem)

Iterated continued fractions from convergents

Cf. Iterated continued fractions from convergents.

In order to get from iterate to iterate

  1. Express with the convergents of as a continued fraction
  2. Compute the convergents
    (using the efficient recursive method shown on generalized continued fractions convergents;)
  3. The next iterate is

For example, starting with , where is a positive real constant, first obtain the simple continued fraction

giving convergents

then

Convergence of iterated continued fractions from convergents

We define the limit of iterated continued fractions from convergents for a constant as
