We rederive AdS/CFT predictions for infrared two-point functions by an entirely four dimensional approach, without reference to holography. This approach, originally due to Migdal in the context of QCD, utilizes an extrapolation from the ultraviolet to the infrared using a Padé approximation of the two-point function. We show that the Padé approximation and AdS/CFT give the same leading order p...

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 ...

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...

Convergence of diagonal Padé approximants is studied for a class of functions which admit the integral representation F(λ) = r1(λ) R 1 −1 tdσ(t) t−λ + r2(λ), where σ is a finite nonnegative measure on [−1, 1], r1, r2 are real rational functions bounded at ∞, and r1 is nonnegative for real λ. Sufficient conditions for the convergence of a subsequence of diagonal Padé approximants of F on R \ [−1...

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...

In this paper, we present rational approximations based on Fourier series representation. For periodic piecewise analytic functions, the well-known Gibbs phenomenon hampers the convergence of the standard Fourier method. Here, for a given set of the Fourier coefficients from a periodic piecewise analytic function, we define Fourier–Padé–Galerkin and Fourier–Padé collocation methods by expressin...

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 ...

Using the technique of Padé Approximants for the correlation contributions of charged particles we are able to reproduce complex mathematical expressions by simple algebraic formulas. The Padé formulas are analytical expressions, which interpolate between certain density-temperature regions and are characterized by exact asymptotics. We present a semi-relativistic description of the thermodynam...
