An elementary treatment of Ramanujan's elementary continued fractions
Abstract
We study the elementary continued fractions of Ramanujan. The entries considered are precursors of his hypergeometric and q-hypergeometric continued fractions. They appear in the first third of Chapter 12 of Ramanujan's second notebook.
