1. Introduction
To determine the coefficients of the Maclaurin series of Jacobi elliptic functions, Hankel determinants, and determinants of Bernoulli numbers, continued fractions and Heilermann correspondence were employed in [
1]. By using the Fourier series expansions of Jacobi elliptic functions and continued fractions, orthogonal polynomials were calculated and related to each other through the multiplication formulas of the Jacobi elliptic functions in [
2]. The Laplace transform of Jacobi elliptic functions was expanded to continued fractions, and it was shown that their coefficients were orthogonal polynomials and the derived dual Hahn polynomials in [
3]. The Fourier series and continued fractions expansions of ratios of Jacobi elliptic functions and their Hankel determinants were used in different ways for representing the sum of square numbers derived in the determinant forms in [
4]. The Laplace transform of bimodular Jacobi elliptic functions were solved as continued fractions, and then, by using the modular transformation, the results were shown for unimodular Jacobi elliptic functions in [
5].
Dixon studied the cubic curve
for the orthogonal polynomials, where the curve has a double period, which gives rise to the two set of functions
and
, now known as the Dixon elliptic functions in [
6]. The examples, the relation to hypergeometric series, modular transformation, and formulae for their ratio were given in [
7]. When
in the above cubic curve, their series expansions and transformations were studied in [
8]. The Dixon elliptic functions were used in the study of the conformal mapping and geographical structure of world maps, and addition and multiplication formulae for Dixon elliptic functions were derived in [
9]. The Laplace transform was applied for the Dixon elliptic functions of both cases
and
to expand as the set of continued fractions (in [
5]). The above cubic curve and its relation to the Fermat curve were studied for the urn representation and combinatorics in [
10]. Number theory-related results (in [
4]) followed by the factorial of numbers using the Dixon elliptic functions were given in [
11]. The Dixon elliptic functions’ relation to trefoil curves and to Weierstrass functions and their derivatives was shown in [
12].
The fractional heat equations were solved using the Sumudu transform in [
13]. The Sumudu transform embedded with the decomposition method in [
14] and the homotopy perturbation method were used to solve the Klein–Gordon equations in [
15]. The fractional order Maxwell’s equations and ordinary differential equations were solved by the Sumudu transform in [
16,
17]. The fractional gas dynamics differential equations were solved using the Sumudu transform in [
18]. The Sumudu transform calculation, the new definition for trigonometric functions, and their expansion to infinite series were proven with illustrations comprising tables and properties in [
19]. The Maxwell’s coupled equations were solved by the Sumudu transform for magnetic field solutions in TEMPwaves given in [
20]. Without using any of the decomposition, perturbation, or analysis techniques, the Sumudu transform of the functions calculated by differentiating the function and the Symbolic C++ program were given in [
21]. The Sumudu transform was applied to the bimodular Jacobi elliptic function [
5,
8] for arbitrary powers and given as the associated continued fraction and their Hankel determinants, and next, by using the modular transformations, the Sumudu transform of
and
was derived in [
22]. The Sumudu transform was applied to the Dixon elliptic functions with non-zero modulus and obtained the quasi-associated continued fractions and Hankel determinants
in [
23]. The Sumudu decomposition technique was applied to solve systems of partial differential equations in [
24] and systems of ordinary differential equations in [
25]. The detailed theory and applications about the continued fractions, elliptic functions, and determinants can be seen in [
26,
27,
28,
29,
30,
31]. Recently, the Sumudu transform was applied to the Dixon elliptic functions with modulus
and expanded into the associated continued fractions followed by the Hankel determinants
in [
32]. The discrete inverse Sumudu transform was applied for the first time to solve the Whittaker, Zettl, and algebrogeometric equations and their new exact solutions obtained, and tables comprising elementary functions and their inverse Sumudu transforms were given in [
33,
34].
The Sumudu transform of the function
defined in the set,
is given by the integral equation.
Through this research communication, the Sumudu transform is applied for the Dixon elliptic functions of arbitrary powers and expanded as the quasi C fractions. Using the numerator coefficients of the quasi C fractions, Hankel determinants are calculated by the correspondence connecting formal power series and the regular C fractions.
