Hi,

can someone tell me what operator is and what does the operator in the
following example?

x |
-------
| f(x)

It should be a variant of a division but I don't know in what way it's
different.
Thanks in advance for any help.

It looks like the Pringsheim notation for continued fractions.

So it is. Until now, I've only ever seen the summation and set-like
(x = <a0;a1,a2 ... aN>) notations.

Thanks,

Ok, I found the following pages on this subject:
http://www.cs.cas.cz/portal/AlgoMath/NumberTheory/ContinuedFractions/BasicDefinitions.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continued_fraction


as for what purpose it's being used for
I found this operator in Thiele's continued fraction expansion.

Thanks again.
