ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the analysis is aimed at deriving the exact general analytical expression for all the expansion coefficients an in the CF. To this end we shall use the theorem of uniqueness of two power series expansions for the same function. The expressions for the coefficients a1 and a2 are derived by starting from the defining expression. The third coefficient a3 is calculated from the third-order CF. The fourth coefficient a4 is calculated using the fourth-order CF. The calculation of the fifth coefficient a5 is performed by means of the fifth-order CF. In order to obtain the sixth coefficient a6 the sixth-order CF is employed. A derivation of the expression for the seventh coefficient a7 necessitates the seventh-order CF.
