Two-Dimensional Generalization of the Thron–Jones Theorem on the Parabolic Domains of Convergence of Continued Fractions

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

For branched continued fractions of a special form (branched continued fractions with independent variables for fixed values of the variables), the notion of \(\mathcal{C}\)-figure convergence is introduced and used to establish a two-dimensional generalization of the Thron–Jones theorem on the parabolic domains of convergence of continued fractions. We propose a new method for the investigation of parabolic domains of convergence of branched continued fractions of a special form. This method does not use the Stieltjes–Vitali theorem on convergence of sequences of holomorphic functions. Hence, it enables us to extend the parabolic domain of convergence to a form similar to that obtained for the one-dimensional case. In proving the theorem, we essentially use the property of stability of continued fractions under perturbations established in the present work.
