Convergence of the nested multivariate Padé approximants (Q1268707)

The paper is devoted to study the convergence of the nested multivariate Padé approximants introduced in a previous work by the author [J. Comput. Appl. Math. 82, No. 1-2, 149-158 (1997; Zbl 0888.65004)]. In the case of two variables \(x\) and \(y\), the approach consists in applying the Padé approximation with respect to \(y\) to the coefficients of the Padé approximation with respect to \(x\). If \(y\) itself is a multivariable, the advantage of the method is that the algorithm allows to use only univariate Padé approximation. As a consequence, convergence results can be obtained where the classical multivariate Padé approximants fail to converge. The author here establishes the uniform convergence of the above nested Padé approximants (the proof is given for the bivariate case) on certain suitable compact subsets of \(\mathbb{C}^2\) containing the origin. An illustrative simple example is also presented.
