Padé-type approximants are rational functions that approximate a given formal power series. Boutry [Numer. Algorithms, 33 (2003), pp 113â122] constructed correspond to the averaged Gauss quadrature rules introduced by Laurie [Math. Comp., 65 (1996), pp. 739â747]. More recently, SpaleviÄ 76 (2007), 1483â1492] proposed optimal rules, have higher degree of precision than corresponding with...
