Continued Fractions with Quadratic Numerators via the Bauer–Muir Transform by Kwang-Wu Chen, Chia-Hsin Liu

“…We study a class of continued fraction transformations where the partial numerators are quadratic polynomials and the denominators are linear or constant. Using the Bauer–Muir transform, we establish two theorems that yield structurally distinct but equivalent continued fractions—one with rational coefficients and another with alternating forms. …”
