Public Interest Statement
This paper is interesting and useful from application point of view. Approximate values of many known functions can be evaluated with the help of continued fractions. Research scholars will get motivation through this paper.
1. Introduction, notations and definitions
Continued fractions have been playing a very important role in number theory and classical analysis ever since the times of Euler and Gauss. Generalized hypergeometric series, both ordinary and basic, have been a very significant tool in the derivation of continued fraction representations. Bhargava and Adiga (Citation1984), Bhragava, Adiga, and Somashekara (Citation1987), Denis and Singh (Citation2000,Citation2011), Srivastava, Singh, and Singh (Citation2015) and many others have established a good number of results involving q-series and continued fractions. One is also referred to see the papers Cao and Srivastava (Citation2013), Choi and Srivastava (Citation2014), Luo and Srivastava (Citation2011), Srivastava (Citation2011), Srivasatava and Choi (Citation2012) and Srivastava and Choudhary (Citation2015) for useful and interesting similar results. In what follows, we shall use the following usual notations and definitions. Some interesting applications in the direction of quantum calculus can be seen in Mishra, Khatri, Mishra, and Deepmala (Citation2013), Mishra, Khan, Khatri, and Mishra (Citation2013), Mishra, Khatri, and Mishra (Citation2012,Citation2013a,Citation2013b), Mishra, Sharma, and Mishra (Citation2016), Gairola, Deepmala, and Mishra (Citation2016a,Citation2016b), and Singh, Gairola, and Deepmala (Citation2016).
Let
Following (Srivastava and Karlsson, Citation1985, 272 p. 347] a basic hypergeometric series is defined as,
where When
series converges for
and
, it converges in the unit circle
An expression of the form
is said to be a finite continued fraction and as , it is called an infinite continued fraction. It is also represented by,

Finally, taking a=1 in (1.5) and using Rogers-Fine identity (Andrews & Berndt, Citation2005, (9.1.1), p. 223) we get (1.1).
