We consider the problem of computing univariate polynomial matrices over a field that represent minimal solution bases for a general interpolation problem, some forms of which are the vector M-Padé approximation problem in [Van Barel and Bultheel, Numerical Algorithms 3, 1992] and the rational interpolation problem in [Beckermann and Labahn, SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl. 22, 2000]. Particular inst...

In this paper, we introduce a modification of the Picard iteration method (PIM) using Padé approximation and so called Picard-Padé technique. Special attention is given to study the convergence analysis of the proposed method. Convergence analysis is reliable enough to estimate the maximum absolute error of the solution given by PIM. A basic enzyme kinetics is used to test the effectiveness of ...

We investigate the approximation of some hypergeometric functions of two variables, namely the Appell functions Fi, i = 1, . . . , 4, by multivariate Padé approximants. Section 1 reviews the results that exist for the projection of the Fi onto x = 0 or y = 0, namely, the Gauss function 2F1(a, b; c; z), since a great deal is known about Padé approximants for this hypergeometric series. Section 2...

In this work, a solution strategy based on the use of Padé approximants is investigated for efficient solution of parametric finite element problems such as, for example, frequency sweep analyses. An improvement to the Padé-based expansion of the solution vector components is proposed, suggesting the advantageous a priori estimate of the poles of the solution. This allows for the intervals of a...

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...

The Baker–Gammel-Wills Conjecture states that if a function f is meromorphic in a unit disk D, then there should, at least, exist an infinite subsequence N ⊆ N such that the subsequence of diagonal Padé approximants to f developed at the origin with degrees contained in N converges to f locally uniformly in D/{poles of f }. Despite the fact that this conjecture may well be false in the general ...

The equations governing the flow of an electrically conducting, incompressible viscous fluid over an infinite flat plate in the presence of a magnetic field are investigated using the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) with Padé approximants (PA) and 4 order Runge–Kutta method (4RKM). Approximate analytical and numerical solutions for the velocity field and heat transfer are obtained and compar...

We construct a new scheme of approximation of any multivalued algebraic function f(z) by a sequence {rn(z)}n∈N of rational functions. The latter sequence is generated by a recurrence relation which is completely determined by the algebraic equation satisfied by f(z). Compared to the usual Padé approximation our scheme has a number of advantages, such as simple computational procedures that allo...

We develop a numerical method to the integration of ordinary differential equations based on a new look at the Padé approximation. We compare our results with those obtained with the Taylor method. Mathematics Subject Classification: 65L05
