Growth behavior and zero distribution of rational approximants (Q662814): Difference between revisions

From authors' abstract: The authors investigate the growth and the distribution of zeros of rational uniform approximations with numerator degree \(\leq n\) and denominator degree \(\leq m_{n}\) for meromorphic functions \(f\) on a compact set \(E\) of \(\mathbb{C}\) where \(m_{n} = o(n/\log n)\) as \(n \rightarrow \infty\). They obtain a Jentzsch-Szegő type result, i.e., the zero distribution converges weakly to the equilibrium distribution of the maximal Green domain \(E_{\rho(f)}\) of meromorphy of \(f\) if \(f\) has a singularity of multivalued character on the boundary of \(E_{\rho(f)}\). The paper extends results for polynomial approximation and rational approximation with fixed degree of the denominator. As applications, Padé approximation and real rational best approximants are considered.
