In this paper, we exploit some known theta function identities involving two parameters ��k,n and ��′k,n for the theta function �� to find about 54 new values of the Ramanujan's cubic continued fraction.

Folsom [10] investigated character formulas and Chaudhary [7] expressed those formulas in terms of continued fraction identities. Andrews et al. [2] introduced and investigated combinatorial partition identities. By using and combining known formulas, we aim to present certain interrelationships among character formulas, combinatorial partition identities and continued partition identities.

On page 366 of his lost notebook [15], Ramanujan recorded a cubic continued fraction and several theorems analogous to Rogers-Ramanujan's continued fractions. In this paper, we derive several general formulas for explicit evaluations of Ramanujan's cubic continued fraction, several reciprocity theorems, two formulas connecting V (q) and V ($q^3$) and also establish some explicit evaluations using the values of remarkable product of theta-function.

Dead times appear often in describing process dynamics and raise some difficulties in simulating process dynamics or analyzing process control systems. To relieve these difficulties, it is needed to approximate the infinite dimensional dead time by the finite dimensional transfer function and, for this, the Pade approximation method is often used. For the accurate approximation of the dead time, high order Pade approximation is needed and the high order Pade approximation is not easy to memorize and is not stable numerically. We propose a method based on the continued fraction expansion that provides the same transfer functions. The method is excellent numerically as well as systematic to be memorized easily. It can be used conveniently for the process control lecture and computations.

We show how to evaluate the cubic continued fraction $G(e^{-{\pi}\sqrt{n}})$ and $G(-e^{-{\pi}\sqrt{n}})$ for n = 4^m, 4^−m, 2 · 4^m, and 2⁻¹ · 4^−m for some nonnegative integer m by using modular equations of degree 9. We then find some explicit values of them.

In this paper, we use some theta-function identities involving certain parameters to show how to evaluate Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction R($e^{-2{\pi}\sqrt{n}}$) and S($e^{-{\pi}\sqrt{n}}$) for $n=\frac{1}{5.4^m}$ and $\frac{1}{4^m}$, where m is any positive integer. We give some explicit evaluations of them.

In the paper A new parameter for Ramanujan's theta-functions and explicit values, Arab J. Math. Sc., 18 (2012), 105-119, Saikia studied the parameter $A_{k,n}$ involving Ramanujan's theta-functions ${\phi}(q)$ and ${\psi}(q)$ for any positive real numbers k and n and applied it to find explicit values of ${\psi}(q)$. As more application to the parameter $A_{k,n}$, in this paper we prove a new general theorem for explicit evaluation of Ramanujan-$G{\ddot{o}}llnitz$-Gordon continued fraction K(q) in terms of the parameter $A_{k,n}$ and give examples. We also find some new explicit values of the parameter $A_{k,n}$ and offer reciprocity theorems for the continued fraction K(q).

The relative class number $H_d(f)$ of a real quadratic field $K=\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{m})$ of discriminant d is the ratio of class numbers of $O_f$ and $O_K$, where $O_K$ denotes the ring of integers of K and $O_f$ is the order of conductor f given by $\mathbb{Z}+fO_K$. In a recent paper of A. Furness and E. A. Parker the relative class number of $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{m})$ has been investigated using continued fraction in the special case when $(\sqrt{m})$ has a diagonal form. Here, we extend their result and show that there exists a conductor f of relative class number 1 when the continued fraction of $(\sqrt{m})$ is non-diagonal of period 4 or 5. We also show that there exist infinitely many real quadratic fields with any power of 2 as relative class number if there are infinitely many Mersenne primes.

Every real number can be expressed as a simple continued fraction. In particular, a number is rational if and only if its simple continued fraction has a finite number of terms. Owing to this property, continued fractions have been a powerful tool which determines a real number to be rational or not. Continued fractions provide not only a series of best estimate for a real number, but also a useful method for finding near commensurabilities between events with different periods. In this paper, we investigate the history and some properties of continued fractions, and then consider their applications in several examples. Also we explain why the Fibonacci numbers and the Golden section appear in nature in terms of continued fractions, with some examples such as the arrangements of petals round a flower, leaves round branches and seeds on seed head.
