Irrationality of generalized continued fractions
An infinite simple continued fraction
$$\frac{1}{b_1 + \frac{1}{b_2 + \frac{1}{b_3+\dots}}} (b_i\in\mathbb Z\setminus\left\{0\right\})$$
is irrational. Now for a generalized continued fraction:
$$\fra …

Irrationality of generalized continued fractions
Apparently no such extension is known. But there are other irrationality criteria for sequences of the form
$$\frac{\sum_{i=1}^n a_i}{\sum_{i=1}^n b_i},$$
such as those by Brun and by Froda.
