We investigate the asymptotic behavior for type II Hermite-Padé approximation to two functions, where each function has two branch points and the pairs of branch points are separated. We give a classification of the cases such that the limiting counting measures for the poles of the Hermite-Padé approximants are described by an algebraic function h of order 3 and genus 0. This situation gives r...

This paper presents a family of finite difference schemes for the first and second derivatives of smooth functions. The schemes are Hermitian and symmetric and may be considered a more general version of the standard compact (Padé) schemes discussed by Lele. They are different from the standard Padé schemes, in that the first and second derivatives are evaluated simultaneously. For the same ste...

A method is suggested for interpolating between small-variable and large-variable asymptotic expansions. The method is based on self-similar approximation theory resulting in self-similar root approximants. The latter are more general than the twosided Padé approximants and modified Padé approximants, including these as particular cases. Being more general, the self-similar root approximants gu...

In this work we compare semi-discrete formulations to obtain numerical solutions for the 1D Burgers equation. The formulations consist in the discretization of the time-domain via multi-stage methods of second and fourth order: R11 and R22 Padé approximants, and of the spatial-domain via finite element methods: least-squares (MEFMQ), Galerkin (MEFG) and Streamline-Upwind Petrov-Galerkin (SUPG)....

Using high resolution optical satellite imagery for automatic DTM generation the validation of the digital terrain model becomes an issue. This problem is easily to overcome if a DTM already exists, as given in various European countries. For the validation of the MOMS02-P camera experiment the outcome of the data take M2P083C of March 14, 1997 is compared with the archived DTM of the Bavarian ...

Further to a recent controversy on whether or not the differential transformation method (DTM) for solving a differential equation is purely and solely the traditional Taylor series method, it is emphasized that the DTM is currently used as a technique for calculating the power series of the solution (in terms of the initial value parameters) including, sometimes, a piecewise analytic continuat...

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...
