Abstract: This paper investigates existence of the nonstandard Pade approximants introduced by Cherkaev and Zhang in J. Comp. Phys. 2009 for approximating the spectral function of composites from effective properties at different frequencies. The spectral functions contain microstructure information. Since this reconstruction problem is ill-posed [9], the well-performed Pade approach is noteworthy and requires further investigations. In this paper, we validate the assumption that the effective dielectric component of interest can be approximated by Pade approximants whose denominator has nonzero power one term. We refer to this as the nonstandard Pade approximant, in contrast to the standard approximants with nonzero constant terms. For composites whose spectral function assumes infinitely many different values, the proof is carried by using classic results for Stieltjes functions. For those with spectral functions having only finitely many different values, we prove the results by utilizing a special product decomposition of the coefficient matrix of the Pade system. The results in this paper can be considered as an extension of the Pade theory for Stieltjes functions whose spectral function take infinitely many different values to those taking only finitely many values. In the literature, the latter is usually excluded from the definition of Stieltjes functions because they correspond to rational functions, hence convergence of their Pade approximants is trivial. However, from an inverse problem point of view, our main concern is the existence of the nonstandard Pade approximants, rather than their convergence. The results in this paper provide a mathematical foundation for applying the Pade approach for reconstructing the spectral functions of composites whose microstructure is not a priori known.
