On two-point Padé-type and two-point Padé approximants (Q1175919)

The author provides a careful study of two-point Padé and two point Padé-type approximants in the setting of a non-commutative algebra on a commutative field. Previous work of the author and others concentrated on the non-normal commutative case. Here, he considers the normal non- commutative case. Algebraic properties including recurrence relations are established, computation of the two-point Padé type approximants is discussed, and some convergence results are provided. The relation to generalized orthogonal polynomials is an essential ingredient of the development of the theory.
