It is known that the n-th denominators Qn (α, β, z) of a real J-fraction

where

form an orthogonal polynomial sequence (OPS) with respect to a distribution function ψ(t) on ℝ. We use separate convergence results for continued fractions to prove the asymptotic formula

the convergence being uniform on compact subsets of
