Abstract

We show, for each q-continued fraction G(q) in a certain class of continued fractions, that there is an uncountable set of points on the unit circle at which G(q) diverges in the general sense. This class includes the Rogers-Ramanujan continued fraction and the three Ramanujan-Selberg continued fraction. We discuss the implications of our theorems for the general convergence of other q-continued fractions, for example the G¨ollnitz-Gordon continued fraction, on the unit circle.
