Let we say, that f(x) is defined as follows: $\displaystyle f(x)= \frac{c \cdot a_{0}+ f_{1}(x) }{ a_{0}+ c \cdot f_{1}(x)}$ and the two next functions are: $\displaystyle f_{1}(x)= \frac{c \cdot a_{1}+ f_{2}(x) }{ a_{1}+ c \cdot f_{2}(x)}$, $\displaystyle f_{2}(x)= \frac{c \cdot a_{2}+ f_{3}(x) }{ a_{2}+ c \cdot f_{3}(x)}$ ..., $\displaystyle f_{n}(x)= \frac{c \cdot a_{n}+ f_{n+1}(x) }{ a_{n}+ c \cdot f_{n+1}(x)}$ Firstly, I thought that this can be made by using recursive theory, however this function is not "calling itself". Once again - to be clear - I want to find general form of function f(x) which will be related to the number of functions constructing it, and furthermore - it will have rational function character (so it will have polynomials in a numerator, and in a denominator). I believe, that there are some methods to solve this problem but I cannot find them. Could you help me, and give some suggestions how can I figure it out ? Best Regards, E.

In last time, I was thinking about what will happen If I take simple function, and replace some parameter in it by using some other or the same function. So in the first step, I defined function f(x): $\displaystyle f(x)= \frac{c \cdot a_{0}+ b }{ a_{0}+ c \cdot b}$ In this formula I've used parameter b, and replaced it by using function f1(x): $\displaystyle f_{1}(x)= \frac{c \cdot a_{1}+ f_{2}(x) }{ a_{1}+ c \cdot f_{2}(x)}$ after that, my idea was to find a new, general form of function f(x), by substituting f1(x) to the previous f(x), i.e.: $\displaystyle f(x)= \frac{ c \cdot a_{0} + ( \frac{ c \cdot a_{1}+ f_{2}(x) }{ a_{1}+ c \cdot f_{2}(x)} ) }{ a_{0} + c \cdot ( \frac{ c \cdot a_{1}+ f_{2}(x) }{ a_{1}+ c \cdot f_{2}(x)} ) }$ Of course, this notation can be easily presented in simpler form (fraction), so I've added to analysis the next function - f2(x): $\displaystyle f(x)= \frac{ c \cdot a_{0} + ( \frac{ c \cdot a_{1}+ \frac{ c \cdot a_{2}+ f_{3}(x) }{ a_{2}+ c \cdot f_{3}(x)} }{ a_{1}+ c \cdot \frac{ c \cdot a_{2}+ f_{3}(x) }{ a_{2}+ c \cdot f_{3}(x)} } ) }{ a_{0} + c \cdot ( \frac{ c \cdot a_{1}+ \frac{ c \cdot a_{2}+ f_{3}(x) }{ a_{2}+ c \cdot f_{3}(x)} }{ a_{1}+ c \cdot \frac{ c \cdot a_{2}+ f_{3}(x) }{ a_{2}+ c \cdot f_{3}(x)} } ) }$ So after that, I started to wonder, how this "general" formula of f(x) will looks like when, I will increment number of function - f2(x), f3(x),..., fn(x). Unfortunately, I don't see any pattern related to changes of parameters due to adding next functions, so I'm not able to define general function f(x) for n-number of functions. I hope that this is way more best explanation of my problem. Last edited by skipjack; May 26th, 2019 at 03:55 PM.

Furthermore, I'm wondering whether I can use the linear fractional transformation theory to solve this problem. It can work ? Regards, P.S. One more thing: to be clear - I want to present such function $\displaystyle f(c) = \frac{c \cdot a_{0}+\frac{c \cdot a_{1}+\frac{c \cdot a_{2}+f_{3}(c)}{ a_{2}+ c \cdot f_{3}(c)}}{ a_{1}+ c \cdot \frac{c \cdot a_{2}+f_{3}(c)}{ a_{2}+ c \cdot f_{3}(c)}}}{ a_{0}+ c \cdot \frac{c \cdot a_{1}+\frac{c \cdot a_{2}+f_{3}(c)}{ a_{2}+ c \cdot f_{3}(c)}}{ a_{1}+ c \cdot \frac{c \cdot a_{2}+f_{3}(c)}{ a_{2}+ c \cdot f_{3}(c)}}}$ in much more elegant, rational function form - I've problem with that.
