Pincherle theorems equate convergence of a continued fraction to existence of a recessive solution of the associated linear system. Matrix continued fractions have recently been used in the study of singular potentials in high energy physics. The matrix continued fractions and discrete Riccati equat

β¦ Synopsis
A matrix continued fraction is defined and used for the approximation of a function F known as a power series in 1Γz with matrix coefficients p_q, or equivalently by a matrix of functions holomorphic at infinity. It is a generalization of P-fractions, and the sequence of convergents converges to the given function. These convergents have as denominators a matrix, the columns of which are orthogonal with respect to the linear matrix functional associated to F. The case where the algorithm breaks off is characterized in terms of F.

We show that the simple continued fractions for the analogues of (ae 2Γn +b)Γ(ce 2Γn +d ) in function fields, with the usual exponential replaced by the exponential for F q [t] have very interesting patterns. These are quite different from their classical counterparts. We also show some continued fr
Babson and Steingrimsson (2000, SΓ©minaire Lotharingien de Combinatoire, B44b, 18) introduced generalized permutation patterns that allow the requirement that two adjacent letters in a pattern must be adjacent in the permutation. Let f Ο ;r (n) be the number of 1-3-2-avoiding permutations on n lett
We prove, using a theorem of W. Schmidt, that if the sequence of partial quotients of the continued fraction expansion of a positive irrational real number takes only two values, and begins with arbitrary long blocks which are ''almost squares,'' then this number is either quadratic or transcendenta
