Abstract

There are numerous methods for rational approximation of real numbers. Continued fraction convergent is one of them and Newton's iterative method is another one. Connections between these two approximation methods were discussed by several authors. Householder's methods are generalisation of Newton's method. In this paper, we will show that for these methods analogous connection with continued fractions hold.

Keywords
