Continued Fractions in Entries 34 and 25 of Chapter 12 in Ramanujan's Second Notebook

Chapter 12 in Ramanujan's second notebook is devoted to continued fractions, many of which are evaluated in terms of Gamma functions. Using the theory of hypergeometric functions, we give new proofs of two of the most attractive continued fractions, and also two new companions.

Abstract

Chapter 12 in Ramanujan's second notebook is devoted to continued fractions, many of which are evaluated in terms of Gamma functions. Using the theory of hypergeometric functions, we give new proofs of two of the most attractive continued fractions, and also two new companions.
