The differential correction algorithm for generalized rational functions (Q1097630): Difference between revisions

The original differential correction (ODC) algorithm is used for generalized rational approximation. Two theorems are proved. The first theorem shows the superlinear convergence property and the second identifies the conditions under which the algorithm converges. Two examples (both were verified by computer calculations) are given to suggest that the original ODC process converges for a wide range of generalized rational approximation problems. The order of convergence may deteriorate from superlinear to linear when the best generalized rational approximation does not exist.
