One of the outstanding theorems in the theory of continued fractions is the result described by O. Perron, Die Lehre von den Kettenbrüchen (1912, 1929, 1954–7) as the transformation of Bauer and Muir (for brevity I shall call it the BM theorem); this theorem and limiting cases of it give rise to numerous extremely interesting consequences.
