Corollaries From Approximation Lemmas (algebra.continued_fractions.computation.approximations) #

Summary #

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

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