Stieltjes transform
Hi, ENRGO!

Say, I like your new article. But I thought I'd point one thing out. You linked to this article to describe the J-fraction that corresponds with a Stieltjes transform when you probably wanted to link to this article instead.

I tried to change the article continued fraction to talk about continued fractions in more general terms, but the crowd that was already here wouldn't let me – they were all convinced that the only kind of continued fraction that exists has integers for partial denominators, and unity for every partial numerator! So the continued fractions of complex analysis are living in Wikipedia under the name generalized continued fraction.

Have a great day! DavidCBryant 00:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello again, Roland.

I've made some small changes to Stieltjes transformation. Most of these involved spelling and English idiom, plus putting in-line expressions in HTML instead of using TeX. You might want to take a look to be sure I didn't mess anything up. Oh – one thing I noticed was your use of the little phrase "all over" (as in "continuous all over I"). The problem with that is that "all over" has a distinct idiomatic meaning in English, meaning done, finished, or complete (I'll be glad when final exams are all over). I guess it's also used a lot in the sense of grabbing at something, or attacking something, as in "the enemy was all over us, like flies on dead meat." Anyway, I've never seen the phrase used like that in a math book, so I substituted "throughout". No big deal – I'm sure your French is much better than mine.

Thanks again for contributing a great article! DavidCBryant 14:29, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
