Abstract: We obtain strong and uniform asymptotics in every domain of the complex plane for the scaled polynomials a(3nz), b(3nz), and c(3nz) where a, b, and c are the type II Hermite-Pad'e approximants to the exponential function of respective degrees 2n+2, 2n and 2n, defined by a(z)e−z−b(z)=O(z3n+2) and a(z)ez−c(z)=O(z3n+2) as zo0. Our analysis relies on a characterization of these polynomials in terms of a 3imes3 matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem which, as a consequence of the famous Mahler relations, corresponds by a simple transformation to a similar Riemann-Hilbert problem for type I Hermite-Pad'e approximants. Due to this relation, the study that was performed in previous work, based on the Deift-Zhou steepest descent method for Riemann-Hilbert problems, can be reused to establish our present results.


Type I quadratic Hermite-Padé approximation (HPA) to exponential function near \(0\) consists of finding three polynomials playing the role of coefficients of second order algebraic equation for \(e^z\), and of solving this equation giving an approximation of \(e^z\). Type II HPA is simultaneous rational approximation to \(e^{-z}\) and \(e^z\) and consists of finding three polynomials giving both rational approximations having the same denominator.Two types of corresponding polynomials are characterized by Riemann-Hilbert problems. The connection between type I and II is established. This allows to establish the asymptotic behaviours of polynomials as \(n \rightarrow \infty\).
