L’objet principal de ce travail est de donner de nouvelles familles de fractions continues transcendantes dont la suite des quotients partiels est bornée. Les démonstrations de nos résultats reposent sur les critères combinatoires de transcendance récemment obtenus par les deux premiers auteurs dans [3].

The main purpose of this work is to present new families of transcendental continued fractions with bounded partial quotients. Our results are derived thanks to combinatorial transcendence criteria recently obtained by the first two authors in [3].
