Given a complex number $begin{aligned}frac{z}{n}=x+iyend{aligned}$ and a gamma function $Gamma(z)$ with $xgt0$, it is conjectured that the following continued fraction for $displaystyletanleft(frac{zpi}{4z+2n}right)$ is true



$$begin{split}displaystyletanleft(frac{zpi}{4z+2n}right)&=frac{displaystyleGammaleft(frac{z+n}{4z+2n}right)Gammaleft(frac{3z+n}{4z+2n}right)}{displaystyleGammaleft(frac{z}{4z+2n}right)Gammaleft(frac{3z+2n}{4z+2n}right)}\&=cfrac{2z}{2z+n+cfrac{(n)(4z+n)} {3(2z+n)+cfrac{(2z+2n)(6z+2n)}{5(2z+n)+cfrac{(4z+3n)(8z+3n)}{7(2z+n)+ddots}}}}end{split}$$



Corollaries:



By taking the limit(which follows after abel's theorem)
$$
begin{aligned}lim_{zto0}frac{displaystyletanleft(frac{zpi}{4z+2}right)}{2z}=frac{pi}{4}end{aligned},
$$

we recover the well known continued fraction for $pi$



$$begin{aligned}cfrac{4}{1+cfrac{1^2}{3+cfrac{2^2}{5+cfrac{3^2}{7+ddots}}}}=piend{aligned}$$



If we let $z=1$ and $n=2$,then we have the square root of $2$ $$begin{aligned}{1+cfrac{1}{2+cfrac{1} {2+cfrac{1}{2+cfrac{1}{2+ddots}}}}}=sqrt{2}end{aligned}$$



Q: How do we prove rigorously that the conjectured continued fraction is true and converges for all complex numbers $z$ with $xgt0$?



Update:I initially defined the continued fraction $displaystyletanleft(frac{zpi}{4z+2}right)$ for only natural numbers,but as a matter of fact it holds for all complex numbers $z$ with real part greater than zero.Moreover,this continued fraction is a special case of the general continued fraction found in this post.

The proposed continued fraction
begin{equation}
displaystyletanleft(frac{zpi}{4z+2n}right)=cfrac{2z}{2z+n+cfrac{(n)(4z+n)} {3(2z+n)+cfrac{(2z+2n)(6z+2n)}{5(2z+n)+cfrac{(4z+3n)(8z+3n)}{7(2z+n)+ddots}}}}
end{equation}

can be written as
begin{equation}
displaystyletanleft(frac{zpi}{4z+2n}right)=cfrac{2z/left( 2z+n right)}{1+cfrac{(n)/left( 2z+n right)cdot(4z+n)/left( 2z+n right)} {3+cfrac{(2z+2n)/left( 2z+n right)cdot(6z+2n)/left( 2z+n right)}{5+cfrac{(4z+3n)/left( 2z+n right)cdot(8z+3n)/left( 2z+n right)}{7+ddots}}}}
end{equation}

Denoting $u=cfrac{z}{4z+2n}$, the factors of the numerators are
begin{equation}
frac{n}{2z+n}=1-4u,;quadfrac{4z+n}{2z+n}=1+4u,;quadfrac{2z+2n}{2z+n}=2-4u,;quadfrac{6z+2n}{2z+n}=2+4u,;cdots
end{equation}

Then, the fraction can be simplified as
begin{equation}
displaystyletanleft(pi uright)=cfrac{4u}{1+cfrac{cfrac{1-16u^2}{1cdot3}} {1+cfrac{cfrac{4-16u^2}{3cdot5}}{1+cfrac{cfrac{9-16u^2}{5cdot7}}{1+ddots}}}}
end{equation}

It is thus a special case of the continued fraction found in this answer:
begin{equation}
tanleft(alphatan^{-1}zright)=cfrac{alpha z}{1+cfrac{frac{(1^2-alpha^2)z^2}{1cdot 3}} {1+cfrac{frac{(2^2-alpha^2)z^2}{3cdot 5}}{1+cfrac{frac{(3^2-alpha^2)z^2}{5cdot 7}}{1+ddots}}}}
end{equation}

here $z=1$ and $alpha=4u$. The brilliant proof is based on a continued fraction due to Nörlund.

    The ratio
    $$tandfrac{pi z}{4z+2n}
    = dfrac{Gammaleft(dfrac{z+n}{4z+2n}right)Gammaleft(dfrac{3z+n}{4z+2n}right)}{Gammaleft(dfrac{z}{4z+2n}right)Gammaleft(dfrac{3z+2n}{4z+2n}right)}hspace{100mu}tag1$$

    can be obtained, applying "real" identity




    $$sinpi x = dfracpi{Gamma(x)Gamma(1-x)}hspace{100mu}tag2$$




    to the expression
    $$tandfracpi2dfrac z{2z+n}
    = dfrac{sinpidfrac z{4z+2n}}{sinpidfrac{z+n}{4z+2n}},$$

    so it looks nice and quite correct.



    Continued fraction can be obtained, using known continued fraction of the tangent function in the form of
    $$tan dfrac{pi x}4 = cfrac x{1+operatorname{
    Large K}hspace{-27mu}phantom{Big|}_{k=1}^{large ^{,infty}}cfrac{(2k-1)^2-x^2}2}hspace{100mu}tag3$$

    with
    $$x=dfrac{2z}{2z+n}.$$

      The proposed continued fraction
      begin{equation}
      displaystyletanleft(frac{zpi}{4z+2n}right)=cfrac{2z}{2z+n+cfrac{(n)(4z+n)} {3(2z+n)+cfrac{(2z+2n)(6z+2n)}{5(2z+n)+cfrac{(4z+3n)(8z+3n)}{7(2z+n)+ddots}}}}

      can be written as

      Then, the fraction can be simplified as
      begin{equation}
      displaystyletanleft(pi uright)=cfrac{4u}{1+cfrac{cfrac{1-16u^2}{1cdot3}} {1+cfrac{cfrac{4-16u^2}{3cdot5}}{1+cfrac{cfrac{9-16u^2}{5cdot7}}{1+ddots}}}}

        The proposed continued fraction
        begin{equation}
        displaystyletanleft(frac{zpi}{4z+2n}right)=cfrac{2z}{2z+n+cfrac{(n)(4z+n)} {3(2z+n)+cfrac{(2z+2n)(6z+2n)}{5(2z+n)+cfrac{(4z+3n)(8z+3n)}{7(2z+n)+ddots}}}}
        end{equation}

        can be written as
        begin{equation}
        displaystyletanleft(frac{zpi}{4z+2n}right)=cfrac{2z/left( 2z+n right)}{1+cfrac{(n)/left( 2z+n right)cdot(4z+n)/left( 2z+n right)} {3+cfrac{(2z+2n)/left( 2z+n right)cdot(6z+2n)/left( 2z+n right)}{5+cfrac{(4z+3n)/left( 2z+n right)cdot(8z+3n)/left( 2z+n right)}{7+ddots}}}}
        end{equation}

        Denoting $u=cfrac{z}{4z+2n}$, the factors of the numerators are
        begin{equation}
        frac{n}{2z+n}=1-4u,;quadfrac{4z+n}{2z+n}=1+4u,;quadfrac{2z+2n}{2z+n}=2-4u,;quadfrac{6z+2n}{2z+n}=2+4u,;cdots
        end{equation}

        Then, the fraction can be simplified as
        begin{equation}
        displaystyletanleft(pi uright)=cfrac{4u}{1+cfrac{cfrac{1-16u^2}{1cdot3}} {1+cfrac{cfrac{4-16u^2}{3cdot5}}{1+cfrac{cfrac{9-16u^2}{5cdot7}}{1+ddots}}}}
        end{equation}

        It is thus a special case of the continued fraction found in this answer:
        begin{equation}
        tanleft(alphatan^{-1}zright)=cfrac{alpha z}{1+cfrac{frac{(1^2-alpha^2)z^2}{1cdot 3}} {1+cfrac{frac{(2^2-alpha^2)z^2}{3cdot 5}}{1+cfrac{frac{(3^2-alpha^2)z^2}{5cdot 7}}{1+ddots}}}}
        end{equation}

        here $z=1$ and $alpha=4u$. The brilliant proof is based on a continued fraction due to Nörlund.

              The ratio
              $$tandfrac{pi z}{4z+2n}
              = dfrac{Gammaleft(dfrac{z+n}{4z+2n}right)Gammaleft(dfrac{3z+n}{4z+2n}right)}{Gammaleft(dfrac{z}{4z+2n}right)Gammaleft(dfrac{3z+2n}{4z+2n}right)}hspace{100mu}tag1$$

              can be obtained, applying "real" identity




              $$sinpi x = dfracpi{Gamma(x)Gamma(1-x)}hspace{100mu}tag2$$




              to the expression
              $$tandfracpi2dfrac z{2z+n}
              = dfrac{sinpidfrac z{4z+2n}}{sinpidfrac{z+n}{4z+2n}},$$

              so it looks nice and quite correct.



              Continued fraction can be obtained, using known continued fraction of the tangent function in the form of
              $$tan dfrac{pi x}4 = cfrac x{1+operatorname{
              Large K}hspace{-27mu}phantom{Big|}_{k=1}^{large ^{,infty}}cfrac{(2k-1)^2-x^2}2}hspace{100mu}tag3$$

              with
              $$x=dfrac{2z}{2z+n}.$$
