Abstract. Let A={ an} n=1 and B={b n} n=1 be two Smarandache type sequences. In this paper we prove that if a n+l ~ b n> 0 and b n+l ~ b n for any positive integer n, the continued fraction
a 1 +---a2+ a3 +

is convergent. 00
Let A={ an} n=1 and B={b n} n=1 be two Smarandache type sequences. Then the continued fraction
b1 a 1 + --------------------b2 a 2 + -------------b3 a 3 + --------
(1)
is called a Smarandache general continued fraction associated with A and B (see [1]). By using Roger's symbol, the continued fraction (1) can be written as b1
