Convergence properties related to \(p\)-point Padé approximants of Stieltjes transforms (Q1801556)

The convergence of multipoint Padé approximants to Stieltjes transforms \(f(z)=\int^ \infty_{-\infty} (z-t)^{-1} d\psi(t)\) is investigated. In the definition of \(f\), \(\psi\) denotes a positive measure with support \(\text{supp }\psi\) in \(\mathbb{R}\). The interpolation points are chosen in the following very special way: Let \(a_ 1,\dots,a_ p\in\mathbb{R}\) be given, and let \(\text{supp }\psi\) be contained in one of the intervals \((- \infty,a_ 1]\), \([a_ 1,a_ 2],\dots,[a_{p-1},a_ p]\), \([a_ p,a_ \infty)\). The set of interpolation points consists of a cyclical repetition of the points \(a_ 1,\dots,a_ p\). For the case \(p=3\) monotone convergence of each of the subsequences \(\{P_{3q+m}(z)/ Q_{3q+m}(z)\}\), \(m=0,1,2\), of multipoint Padé approximants \(\{P_ n(z)/Q_ n(z)\}\) are established, and sufficient conditions for the divergence of the series \(\sum^ \infty_{q=1} | Q_{3q+m}(z)|^ 2\) are given.
