Abstract:
Milne-Thomson’s "proofs" of the interpolating property of the continued fraction employing reciprocal differences, as well as the symmetry property of reciprocal differences, are shown to be faulty. He also makes a similar misleading, though correct, statement in connection with divided differences.References
