Wall H.S. Analytic Theory of Continued Fractions

Chelsea Publishing Company, 1967 edition, 433 Pages.The theory of continued fractions has been defined by a small handful of books. This is one of them. The focus of Wall's book is the study of continued fractions in the theory of analytic functions, rather than on arithmetical aspects. There are extended discussions of orthogonal polynomials, power series, infinite matrices and quadratic forms in infinitely many variables, definite integrals, the moment problem and the summation of divergent series.
