Corollaries From Approximation Lemmas (Algebra.ContinuedFractions.Computation.Approximations)

Summary

We show that the generalized_continued_fraction given by GeneralizedContinuedFraction.of in fact is a (regular) continued fraction. Using the equivalence of the convergents computations (GeneralizedContinuedFraction.convergents and GeneralizedContinuedFraction.convergents') for continued fractions (see Algebra.ContinuedFractions.ConvergentsEquiv), it follows that the convergents computations for GeneralizedContinuedFraction.of are equivalent.

Moreover, we show the convergence of the continued fractions computations, that is (GeneralizedContinuedFraction.of v).convergents indeed computes v in the limit.

Main Definitions

• ContinuedFraction.of returns the (regular) continued fraction of a value.

Main Theorems

• GeneralizedContinuedFraction.of_convergents_eq_convergents' shows that the convergents computations for GeneralizedContinuedFraction.of are equivalent.
• GeneralizedContinuedFraction.of_convergence shows that (GeneralizedContinuedFraction.of v).convergents converges to v.
