Anomalous Convergence of a Continued Fraction for Ratios of Kummer Functions.
Abstract
A phenomenon of apparent convergence to the wrong limit is exhibited in connection with a continued fraction of Perron for ratios of Kummer functions. The phenomenon is further illustrated in the special cases of Bessel functions and incomplete gamma functions.
