Padé and Hermite-Padé Approximation and Orthogonality
نویسنده
چکیده
We give a short introduction to Padé approximation (rational approximation to a function with close contact at one point) and to Hermite-Padé approximation (simultaneous rational approximation to several functions with close contact at one point) and show how orthogonality plays a crucial role. We give some insight into how logarithmic potential theory helps in describing the asymptotic behavior and the convergence properties of Padé and Hermite-Padé approximation.

Sufficient Conditions for the Convergence of Multipoint Hermite-padé Approximants of Nikishin Systems
We consider simultaneous approximation of Nikishin systems of functions by means of rational vector functions which are constructed interpolating along a prescribed table of points. We give sufficient conditions for the uniform convergence of such approximants with a geometric rate.

The problem of two-dimensional, steady, nonlinear flow of an incompressible conducting viscous fluid in convergent-divergent channels under the influence of an externally applied homogeneous magnetic field is studied using a special type of Hermite-Padé approximation approach. This semi-numerical scheme offers some advantages over solutions obtained by using traditional methods such as finite d...
متن کاملStrong Asymptotics of Hermite-padé Approximants for Angelesco Systems
In this work type II Hermite-Padé approximants for a vector of Cauchy transforms of smooth Jacobi-type densities are considered. It is assumed that densities are supported on mutually disjoint intervals (an Angelesco system with complex weights). The formulae of strong asymptotics are derived for any ray sequence of multi-indices.
متن کاملOn cubic Padé Approximation to the exponential function and its application in solving diffusion-convection equation
Diagonal cubic Hermite-Padé approximation to the exponential function with coefficient polynomials of degree at most m is considered. Explicit formulas and differential equations are obtained for the coefficient polynomials. An exact asymptotic expression is obtained for the error function and it is also shown that these generalized Padé-type approximations can be used to asymptotically minimiz...
