Padé approximation for a multivariate Markov transform

On the Froissart phenomenon in multivariate homogeneous Padé approximation

In univariate Padé approximation we learn from the Froissart phenomenon that Padé approximants to perturbed Taylor series expansions of rational functions exhibit almost cancelling polezero combinations that are unwanted. The location of these pole-zero pairs is given by the socalled Froissart polynomial. In this paper the occurrence of the Froissart phenomenon is explored for the first time in...

General order multivariate Padé approximants for Pseudo-multivariate functions. II

Explicit formulas for general order multivariate Padé approximants of pseudo-multivariate functions are constructed on specific index sets. Examples include the multivariate forms of the exponential function E (x) = ∞ ∑ j1,j2,...,jm=0 x1 1 x j2 2 · · ·x jm m (j1 + j2 + · · ·+ jm)! , the logarithm function L(x) = ∑ j1+j2+···+jm≥1 x1 1 x j2 2 · · ·x jm m j1 + j2 + · · ·+ jm , the Lauricella funct...

General order multivariate Padé approximants for pseudo-multivariate functions

Although general order multivariate Padé approximants were introduced some decades ago, very few explicit formulas for special functions have been given. We explicitly construct some general order multivariate Padé approximants to the class of so-called pseudo-multivariate functions, using the Padé approximants to their univariate versions. We also prove that the constructed approximants inheri...

On Padé Approximation of Some Practical Functions

Robust Padé Approximation via SVD

Padé approximation is considered from the point of view of robust methods of numerical linear algebra, in particular the singular value decomposition. This leads to an algorithm for practical computation that bypasses most problems of solution of nearly-singular systems and spurious pole-zero pairs caused by rounding errors; a Matlab code is provided. The success of this algorithm suggests that...
