Connections to previous work and possible applications of the deduced formula are briefly discussed. 1 Introduction Continued fractions Kkn b n1 + b n + a n a n+1 b n+1 + a n occur frequently in applications due to close connections between continued fractions and second-order difference and differential equations [1]. Although it has been known since the pioneering work of Euler that one can convert a continued fraction into a power series, implying analyticity in the whole domain of definition as long as the elements a k and are analytic, it is diffi cult to give general formulae for the derivatives of a continued fraction with respect to its argument. In some cases this can be accomplished by utilizing a connection between a given continued fraction and a special function e.g. [2], see [3] for further possibilities. So far most studies have concentrated on the more mathematically interesting case of an infinite continued fraction. In applications, however, boundary conditions or computational limitations lead to the truncation of the continued fraction 1 after a finite number of levels, resulting in a finite continued fraction K kn a k/. Here we derive a general formula for the derivative of this finite continued fraction by presenting it as a finite composition of linear fractional transformation of analytic functions. We then briefly discuss the connections between the deduced formula and partial derivatives with respect to the elements a k and. Mathematics Subject Classifications: 30B70, 30D05.

2 14 The Derivative of a Finite Continued Fraction 2 Preliminaries and the Main Result We consider a finite continued fraction Kkn b n + b n+1 + a n a n+1 a n+2... b 1 + a b, 2 where a k and are functions of a complex argument z that we suppress for brevity. This finite continued fraction is also known as the th approximant of the infinite continued fraction 1. We neglect the term b n1 for simplicity, which does not affect the generality of our results. For n > l 1, the expression K kn+l a k/ is known as the lth tail of the finite continued fraction 2. ow let {a k } k n and { } k n be two sequences of complex-valued analytic functions with domains Ψ and Ω C, respectively. We define a third sequence of functions {g k } k n as g k z, ζ g k,1 z, g k,2 z, ζ a k z z,, 3 z + ζ with domain G Ψ Ω B0, R G Ĉ2 such that g k G G for all k n,..., ; here B0, R G is an open disk with radius R G < and Ĉ C {}. We set the finite G G composite function f n z, ζ f n,1, f n,2 : g n g n+1 g z, ζ, 4 where subscript n indicates the extent of the composition. THEOREM 1. Assuming that a l z, b l z + g l+1,2 z, ζ 0 for l n,..., 1 and b z 0 for all z, ζ G, it follows that i f n is analytic ii f n,2 evaluated at z, 0 equals the finite continued fraction 2. PROOF. Claim i follows since g k,1 and g k,2 are C C linear fractional transformations of analytic functions that are bounded and continuous for every z, ζ G and k n,...,. Thus f n is also analytic as a finite composition of analytic functions [4, Sec. 2.1]. ow f n,2 z, 0 K kn a k/ is a well-defined G C function corresponding to the standard definition of the nth tail of a continued fraction [1, Sec. I.1], thus satisfying claim ii. LEMMA Chain rule. The chain rule for f n,2 reads as f n,2 g m1,2 g j,2 g m,2. 5 jn mn+1
3 J. Malila 15 PROOF. From Theorem 1 all g k,2 are analytic and g k / z, ζ Equation 5 is most conveniently proven by induction; the argument is essentially the same as that of Gill [5], but is repeated here for the convenience of the reader. First, letting n + 1, the result follows directly from the usual chain rule: where n mn+1 P 1 : f n,2 g n,2 g n+1,1 + g n,2 g n+1,2 g n+1,1 g n+1,2 g n,2 + g n,2 g n+1,2 g n+1,2 n+1 g m1,2 g j,2 g m,2, jn mn+1 1. We now assume that Eq. 5 holds for n + k, i.e. P k : f n+k n,2 g m1,2 g j,2 g m,2. jn mn+1 To show that this implies P k+1, we first write f n z, ζ g n f n+1 z, ζ. ow with a simple change in indexing of P k we have n+k+1 f n+1,2 g m1,2 g j,2 g m,2, so that P k+1 : f n,2 which completes the proof. jn+1 mn+2 g n,2 f n+1,1 + f n+1,1 g n,2 + g n+k+1 n,2 n+k+1 jn g n+1,2 jn+1 j mn+1 We can now present our main result: g m1,2 g m,2 mn+2 g n,2 f n+1,2 f n+1,2 g m1,2 g j,2 g m,2 g j,2, THEOREM 2. Under the assumptions of Theorem 1, dk kn a k/ /dz is an analytic function for all z, z, 0 G, and [ d j ] 2 1 jn+1 1 al dz a Kkn jn k b l kn Klk al da 1 j b l dz db j dz. 6 Klj
4 16 The Derivative of a Finite Continued Fraction PROOF. Applying substitutions g k,2 da k dz b d k + ζ a k dz + ζ 2 ζζk and g k,2 ζ a k + ζ 2 ζζk with ζ k f k+1,2 K mk+1 a m/b m for k n,..., 1; ζ 0, to the previous Lemma gives for the derivative al + j a k1 K da j b l dz a d j dz [ ] lj+1 2 2, jn kn+1 al 1 + al + Klk b l K lj+1 from which we obtain the final result [Eq. 6] after factoring out continued fractions. We can now replace the partial derivative with a total one as K kn a k/ is an analytic function of z only. It should be noted that if a k and are unknown analytic functions, conditions in Theorem 1 are suffi cient to guarantee that the undetermined cases 0/0 or 0 are not possible to occur when evaluating dk kn a k/ /dz. However, if a k and are known, it might be possible to relax these conditions: for example, if either a l 0 or b l+1 K kl+2 a k/ for some 1 > l > n, the original continued fraction simply terminates after l n levels and we can reset l. b l 3 Partial Derivatives with Respect to a l and b l As an example of the application of Eq. 6, we turn our attention to two special cases presented in earlier literature which give partial derivatives of continued fractions with respect to their elements. In accordance with the standard practice in the literature, we consider only n 1. The th modified approximant of the continued fraction 1 can be now defined in our notation as f 1,2 z, ζ for arbitrary ζ [1, Sec. I.5]. This allows us to extend preceding results for infinite continued fractions: OBSERVATIO. The previous Lemma holds for all ζ B0, R G that are independent of z as well as for ζ 0. ow if we consider sequences {a k } k 1, a k 0 for k <, and { } k 1, which are constants except for subsequences {a l z} l I and {b l z} l J, I, J {1, 2,..., } for some, which are analytic functions of z so that
5 J. Malila 17 K k+1 a k/ is defined and converges into ζ Ĉ, the Theorem 2 also holds for ζ ζ, i.e. for K k1 a k/. The rationale behind this observation is that, as long as the l + 1st tail, l, is constant, the th modified approximant of 1 given by the finite composition f 1 z, ζ results f 1,2 z, ζ K k1 a k/. For the extension to an infinite composition, see [5]. Let us first consider the case where all and a k l are constants. Assuming that neither a l nor da l /dz vanishes, only the term with index l remains from the sum, and applying dz a l / 1 da l to Eq. 6 gives a l 1 l 1 a k k1 l1 1 l2 1 a l Kj1 1 a l Kj1 1 a k k2 Kjk l1 k2 k2 Kjk + Kjk K Kjl 1 a 1 jk+1 Kjk Kjk Kj1 b Kjl Kj2 1 a l Kjl, 7 which is the generalization of Waadeland s [6] formula by Levrie and Bultheel [7]; the original formula follows if 1 and l 2. ote that if l 1, the minus sign cannot be ten inside the empty product. ext we turn to the opposite case, and set all a k and l constants and assume that neither b l nor db l /dz vanishes. Considering first the finite case, Eq. 6 reduces to 1 l b l a k k1 Kjk Using the determinant formula [1, Eq ], we can write 1 l1 k1 a k B l B l1 [ l l1 ], 9 where the mth canonical denominator B m is given by the Wallis Euler recurrence relation B m b m B m1 + a m B m2 with initial conditions B 1 0 and B 0 1 and
6 18 The Derivative of a Finite Continued Fraction satisfies the relation A m /B m K m k1 a k/. On the other hand, Dudley [8, Corollary 1.10 that also holds in the complex case] has shown that b l Together Eqs give k1 Kjk 2 [ l1 [ l B 2 l1 [ l1 ] 2 l1 B l1 ] B l. 10 ] 2, 11 which seems to be a new result, though it can probably be obtained independently from the basic properties of continued fractions. Using the Observation above and Theorem 1.11 in [8], we can extend the previous result: COJECTURE. If K k1 a k/ converges in Ĉ, k1 Kjk 2 B 2 l1 [ l1 ] We remark that although the derivation leading to Eqs. 11 and 12 was based on the assumption of analytic sequences {a k } k 1 and { } k 1, this is not necessary for the proposed Conjecture to hold, as we can always expand K k1 a k/ into series with elements that are rational functions of a k and [3, Sec. 1.7], and are therefore analytic with respect to a l or b l for all l <. 4 Concluding Remarks Despite its simplicity, the main result of this short note, Theorem 2, has not apparently been published before: As only intermediate complex analysis is needed to prove the result, it might have some instructional use besides being relevant for scientists working in adjacent fields. It should be noted that in practical applications, a k and are typically relatively simple functions, such as low-degree polynomials or rational functions, so that the relevant domain for the problem D, D B0, R G G, can be often inferred directly from the context. The fact that the obtained formula contains the original continued fraction and its tails yields some useful corollaries: First, for relatively simple a k and the computational cost of numerical evaluation of the analytic expression [Eq. 6] for the derivative is not much higher than that of the original continued fraction if a vector containing
7 J. Malila 19 computed tails/approximants is updated during each iteration step, and can be lower than that of the evaluation of the corresponding finite difference that involves two evaluations of K kn a k/ at different points. Secondly, the obtained result can be applied iteratively to calculate higher order derivatives of the finite continued fraction if needed. However, expressions for these higher derivatives become increasingly impractical with increasing order, and we me no attempt to present those here; we are unaware of any suitable generalization of the Faá di Bruno s formula that could simplify this treatment.
