\(h\)-adic polynomials and partial fraction decomposition of proper rational functions over \(\mathbb{R}\) or \(\mathbb{C}\) (Q1751328)

Summary: The partial fraction decomposition technique is very useful in many areas including mathematics and engineering. In this paper we present a new and simple method on the partial fraction decomposition of proper rational functions which have completely factored denominators over \(\mathbb{R}\) or \(\mathbb{C}\). The method is based on a recursive computation of the \(h\)-adic polynomial in commutative algebra which is a generalization of the Taylor polynomial. Since its computation requires only simple algebraic operations, it does not require a computer algebra system to be programmed.
