Procedures for estimating the error in Padé approximation

Procedures for Estimating the Error in Padé Approximation By Claude Brezinski

Kronrod's procedure is a method for estimating the error in Gaussian quadrature methods. Padé approximants are formal Gaussian quadrature formulas. In a previous paper, Kronrod's method was used to obtain .estimates of the error in Padé approximation. Using a new interpretation of this procedure and three different expressions of the error of Padé approximants, extensions of the method are obta...

Estimating the Approximation Error in Learning Theory

Let B be a Banach space and (H, ‖ · ‖H) be a dense, imbedded subspace. For a ∈ B, its distance to the ball of H with radius R (denoted as I(a, R)) tends to zero when R tends to infinity. We are interested in the rate of this convergence. This approximation problem arose from the study of learning theory, where B is the L2 space and H is a reproducing kernel Hilbert space. The class of elements ...

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...

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
