The rational interpolation problem revisited (Q1178587)

When specifying rational interpolants one sometimes wants certain poles to be fixed while others are determined by the interpolation conditions. It is also common to specify the type of the rational function, thereby in fact prescribing the order of the zero or pole at infinity. The author gives a unified treatment where infinity no longer plays a special role and all kinds of specified poles and multiplicities in data (Hermite interpolation) are allowed.
