CONTINUED FRACTIONS AND RESTRAINED SEQUENCES OF MÖBIUS MAPS

Modified approximants of a continued fraction are designed to increase the rate of convergence, and these led to the notion of restrained sequences of Möbius transformations. Here we give some analytic and geometric characterizations of restrained sequences and related topics. We also give an exposi...

Zusammenfassung:Modified approximants of a continued fraction are designed to increase the rate of convergence, and these led to the notion of restrained sequences of Möbius transformations. Here we give some analytic and geometric characterizations of restrained sequences and related topics. We also give an expository account of the use of geometry, including hyperbolic geometry, in discussing restrained sequences and continued fractions.
