Poles and zeros of best rational approximants of | x|

Let \(r^*_ n= p/q\) (where \(p\) and \(q\) are polynomials of degree at most \(n\), with real coefficients) be a best rational approximation in the Chebyshev sense (sup-norm) of \(| x|\) on \([-1,1]\) and \(E_{n,n}= E_{n,n} (| x|, [-1,1])\) -- the minimal approximation error. In a previous paper the author has proved an important result, conjectured early by Varga et al., namely the strong asymptotic error formula: \(\lim_{n\to\infty} e^{\pi \sqrt{n}} E_{n,n} (| x|, [-1,1])=8\). The present paper completes the above one by an exhaustive analysis of an asymptotic behaviour of poles and zeros of \(r^*_ n\) and of the extreme points of error function \(| x|- r^*_ n\). More precisely, the author gives, for the large \(n\), the formulas are individual location of the above points.
