A convergence theorem for continued fractions of the form $K_{n=1}^{\infty} a_{n}/1$

Abstract

In this paper we present a convergence theorem for continued fractions of the form $K_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}/1$. By deriving conditions on the $a_{n}$ which ensure that the odd and even parts of $K_{n=1}^{\infty}a_{n}/1$ converge, these same conditions also ensure that they converge to the same limit. Examples will be given.
