Abstract

The connection between a Taylor series and a continued-fraction involves a nonlinear relation between the Taylor coefficients \ an \ and the continued-fraction coefficients \ bn \. In many instances it turns out that this nonlinear relation transforms a complicated sequence \an \ into a very simple one \ bn \. We illustrate this simplification in the context of graph combinatorics.
