Multivariate Frobenius–Padé approximants: Properties and algorithms

摘要

The aim of this paper is to construct rational approximants for multivariate functions given by their expansion in an orthogonal polynomial system. This will be done by generalizing the concept of multivariate Padé approximation. After defining the multivariate Frobenius–Padé approximants, we will be interested in the two following problems: the first one is to develop recursive algorithms for the computation of the value of a sequence of approximants at a given point. The second one is to compute the coefficients of the numerator and denominator of the approximants by solving a linear system. For some particular cases we will obtain a displacement rank structure for the matrix of the system we have to solve. The case of a Tchebyshev expansion is considered in more detail.
