Hurwitz continued fractions
Summary:
Many new types of Hurwitz continued fractions have been studied by the author. In this paper we show that all of these closed forms can be expressed by using confluent hypergeometric functions ${}_0F_1(;c;z)$. In the application we study some new Hurwitz continued fractions whose closed form can be expressed by using confluent hypergeometric functions.
