1. If the approximate numerical value of e is expressed as a continued fraction the result isand it was in finding the proof that the sequence extends correctly to infinity that the following work was done. First the continued fraction may be simplified by setting down the difference equations for numerator and denominator as usual, and eliminating two out of every successive three equations. A difference equation is thus formed between the first, fourth, seventh, tenth … convergents , and this equation will generate another continued fraction. After a little rearrangement of the first two members it appears that (1) implies2. We therefore consider the continued fractionwhich includes (2), and also certain continued fractions which were discussed by Prof. Turnbull. He evaluated them without solving the difference equations, and it is the purpose here to show how the difference equations may be solved completely both in his cases and in the different problem of (2). It will appear that the work is connected with certain types of hypergeometric function, but I shall not go into this deeply.

AbstractThe general solution of the rth inhomogeneous linear difference equation is given in the formThe coefficients , i = 2, …, r, and b(n−r)(n) can be evaluated from n values , k = 0, …, n − 1, which santisfy an rth order homogenous linear difference equation. In the rth order homogeneous case and if n ≥ 2r, the method requires the evaluation of r determinants of successive orders n − 2r + 1, n − 2r + 2, …, n − r. If r ≤ n ≤ 2r − 1, only n − r determinants are required, with orders varying from 1 to n − r. In the second order ihnomogenous case, can be evaluated from a continued fraction amd a simple product.

Vasil’eva, [2], demonstrates a close connection between the explicit formulae for solutions to the linear difference equation with constant coefficients(1.1)where z is an n-vector, A an n×n constant matrix, τ>0, and a corresponding differential equation with constant coefficients(1.2)(1.2) is obtained from (1.1) by replacing the difference z(t—τ) by the first two terms of its Taylor Series expansion, combined with a suitable rearrangement of the terms.

AbstractGiven a sequence of polynomials$\{x_k(q)\}_{k \ges 0}$, define the transformation$$y_n(q) = a^n\sum\limits_{i = 0}^n {\left( \matrix{n \cr i} \right)} b^{n-i}x_i(q)$$for$n\ges 0$. In this paper, we obtain the relation between the Jacobi continued fraction of the ordinary generating function ofyn(q) and that ofxn(q). We also prove that the transformation preservesq-TPr+1(q-TP) property of the Hankel matrix$[x_{i+j}(q)]_{i,j \ges 0}$, in particular forr= 2,3, implying ther-q-log-convexity of the sequence$\{y_n(q)\}_{n\ges 0}$. As applications, we can give the continued fraction expressions of Eulerian polynomials of typesAandB, derangement polynomials typesAandB, general Eulerian polynomials, Dowling polynomials and Tanny-geometric polynomials. In addition, we also prove the strongq-log-convexity of derangement polynomials typeB, Dowling polynomials and Tanny-geometric polynomials and 3-q-log-convexity of general Eulerian polynomials, Dowling polynomials and Tanny-geometric polynomials. We also present a new proof of the result of Pólya and Szegö about the binomial convolution preserving the Stieltjes moment property and a new proof of the result of Zhu and Sun on the binomial transformation preserving strongq-log-convexity.

Consider the difference equationxn+1=f(xn,…,xn−k),n=0,1,…,wherek∈{1,2,…}and the initial conditions are real numbers. We investigate the existence and nonexistence of the minimal period-two solution of this equation when it can be rewritten as the nonautonomous linear equationxn+l=∑i=1−lkgixn−i,n=0,1,…,wherel,k∈{1,2,…}and the functionsgi:ℝk+l→ℝ. We give some necessary and sufficient conditions for the equation to have a minimal period-two solution whenl=1.

The Difference

Mathematical models of the efficiency dynamics of information web resources are considered in this paper. The application of interval discrete models in the form of difference equations is substantiated and the approach to estimation of the model parameters is proposed. The proposed approach is based on the artificial bee colony algorithm (ABCA). A number of experimental studies have been carried out based on data on the functioning of web resources related to environmental monitoring services. The indicator of an information web resource user’s activity has been investigated. Three cases of model building in the form of difference equations as interval discrete models (IDM) have been considered. They vary in the general kind of expression. As a result of the computational experiments, it is shown that the adequacy of a model depends on the expression of the difference equation. In the case of its incorrect choice, the proposed method of parameters’ identification may be ineffective. The obtained interval discrete model in the difference equation form, which describes the efficiency of a web resource, makes it possible to optimize business processes in an organization that uses this web resource, as well as optimally allocate organizational resources and the workload of employees of the administrative service center. Based on the conducted experiments, the efficiency of the proposed model’s application is confirmed.

We study a generalization of a continued fraction of Ramanujan with random, complex-valued coefficients. A study of the continued fraction is equivalent to an analysis of the convergence of certain stochastic difference equations and the stability of random dynamical systems. We determine the convergence properties of stochastic difference equations and so the divergence of their corresponding continued fractions.
