Quartic Padé approximation to the exponential function and a class of local analytical difference schemes (Q2224423)

From the authors' abstract: ``This paper investigates the quartic non-diagonal algebraic Hermite-Padé approximation to the exponential function. Explicit formulas and differential equations are obtained for the polynomial coefficients. An exact asymptotic expression is obtained for the error function. As an application, a class of local analytical difference schemes based on quartic Padé approximation for diffusion-convection equation with constant coefficients are proposed.'' A numerical example is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the different schemes over existing ones.
