Connections between Markov processes and continued fractions have long been known (see, for example, Good [8]). However the usefulness of extended continued fractions in such a context appears not to have been explored. In this paper a convergence theorem is established for a class of extended continued fractions and used to provide well-behaved solutions for some general order linear recurrence relations such as arise in connection with the equilibrium distribution of state for some Markov processes whose natural state spaces are of dimension 2. Specific application is made to a multiserver version of a queueing problem studied by Neuts and Ramalhoto [13] and to a model proposed by Cohen [5] for repeated call attempts in teletraffic.

If Φ is a real number with |Φ| ≧ 1, then a semiregular continuet fraction development of Φ is denoted by where the ai are integers such that |ai| ≧ 2. The expansions arise geo-. metrically by considering the sequence of divided cells of two-dimensional grids (see [1]), and are described by the following algorithm: for all n ≧ 0, taking Φ = Φ.0 Hence where in this case the square brackets are used to signify the integer-part function. It follows that each irrational Φ has uncountably many such expansions, none of which has a constantly equal to 2 (or -2) for large n.

The paper deals with the problem of convergence of the branched continued fractions with two branches of branching which are used to approximate the ratios of Horn's hypergeometric function $H_3(a,b;c;{\bf z})$. The case of real parameters $c\geq a\geq 0,$ $c\geq b\geq 0,$ $c\neq 0,$ and complex variable ${\bf z}=(z_1,z_2)$ is considered. First, it is proved the convergence of the branched continued fraction for ${\bf z}\in G_{\bf h}$, where $G_{\bf h}$ is two-dimensional disk. Using this result, sufficient conditions for the uniform convergence of the above mentioned branched continued fraction on every compact subset of the domain $\displaystyle H=\bigcup_{\varphi\in(-\pi/2,\pi/2)}G_\varphi,$ where \[\begin{split} G_{\varphi}=\big\{{\bf z}\in\mathbb{C}^{2}:&\;{\rm Re}(z_1e^{-i\varphi})<\lambda_1 \cos\varphi,\; |{\rm Re}(z_2e^{-i\varphi})|<\lambda_2 \cos\varphi, \\ &\;|z_k|+{\rm Re}(z_ke^{-2i\varphi})<\nu_k\cos^2\varphi,\;k=1,2;\; \\ &\; |z_1z_2|-{\rm Re}(z_1z_2e^{-2\varphi})<\nu_3\cos^{2}\varphi\big\}, \end{split}\] are established.

Continued fractions are deeply related to Singularity Theory, as the computation of the Puiseux exponents of a plane curve from its dual graph clearly shows. Another closely related topic is Euclid's Algorithm for computing the gcd of two integers (see [2] for a detailed overview). In the first section, we describe a subtractive algorithm for computing the gcd of n integers, related to singularities of curves in affine n-space. This gives rise to a multidimensional continued fraction algorithm whose version in dimension 2 is the main topic of the paper.
