  A real vector space combined with an inverse for vectors is sufficient to
define a vector continued fraction whose parameters consist of vector shifts
and changes of scale. The choice of sign for different components of the vector
inverse permits construction of vector analogues of the Jacobi continued
fraction. These vector Jacobi fractions are related to vector and scalar-valued
polynomial functions of the vectors, which satisfy recurrence relations similar
to those of orthogonal polynomials. The vector Jacobi fraction has strong
convergence properties which are demonstrated analytically, and illustrated
numerically.
