pyoculus.utils.continued_fraction.expandcf(realnumber, n=100, thres=1e-12)

Expands a positive real number in its continued fraction.

Parameters:

• realnumber (float) – The positive real number to expand. An absolute value will be taken if negative.

• n (int, optional) – The maximum number of terms in the expansion. Default to 100.

• thres (float, optional) – The threshold to stop the expansion. Default to 1e-6.

Returns:

A NumPy array containing the continued fraction expansion of the real number up to the nth term or until the threshold is met.

Return type:

np.ndarray
