Continued fraction expansions for q-tangent and q-cotangent functionsArticle

Authors: Helmut Prodinger 1

For 3 different versions of q-tangent resp. q-cotangent functions, we compute the continued fraction expansion explicitly, by guessing the relative quantities and proving the recursive relation afterwards. It is likely that these are the only instances with a ''nice'' expansion. Additional formulae of a similar type are also provided.
