Abstract
We show how to evaluate the cubic continued fraction <TEX>$G(e^{-{\pi}\sqrt{n}})$</TEX> and <TEX>$G(-e^{-{\pi}\sqrt{n}})$</TEX> for n = 4<sup>m</sup>, 4<sup>−m</sup>, 2 · 4<sup>m</sup>, and 2<sup>−1</sup> · 4<sup>−m</sup> for some nonnegative integer m by using modular equations of degree 9. We then find some explicit values of them.
