Cannot formally prove it ( yet), but getting very close: Written as ratios of polynomials, the lhs matches the Padé approximants of the rhs! Now since Padé approx are unique, next step is to show as n->infinity. https://t.co/U8aHiyK9vS — PolitiTweet.org

@PaulSkallas I trust it is more Italian and more olive oil than so-called Italian olive oil. Too much cheating, mostly in Sicily: they keep the good stuff for family and friends. — PolitiTweet.org

Voila. It is the continuous fraction representation of the Kummer confluent hypergeometric function 1F1. Only one answer close: Michalis @Q112N using the Gauss' continued fraction . https://t.co/cEciURPwk8 — PolitiTweet.org

@vtchakarova Not yours. I am correcting because people find counterexamples of thin tails (height, weight, etc...) which destroys universality. — PolitiTweet.org

Correction: someone distorted it in the transmission chain. Should be: "Fat-tailed phenomena have universality to them." (Life is not universally fat-tailed). — PolitiTweet.org

A very friendly *fight*. My point (numeraire pbm): BTC doesn't become *currency*, if you can buy stuff by converting into USD. Some prices, contractual obligations/assets MUST be denominated in BTC. That BTC is going up is nice but doesn't make it a currency, actually reverse. — PolitiTweet.org

Found the function for the K[fn/gn] and showing the aesthetics for a wider range. The solution is easier now as one can reexpress the continuous fraction as polynomials from Padé approximants or elsewhere... Problem: there is a ceiling function that makes it non-analytic. https://t.co/HKm98kXBar — PolitiTweet.org
