Upper and lower bounds on Mathieu characteristic numbers of integer orders
For each Mathieu characteristic number of integer order (MCN) we
construct sequences of upper and lower bounds both converging to
the MCN. The bounds arise as zeros of polynomials in sequences
generated by recursion. This result is based on a constructive
proof of convergence for Ince's continued fractions. An important
role is also played by the fact that the continued fractions
define meromorphic functions.
