Convergence of ray sequences of Padé approximants for₂f₁(a, 1;c;z), (c>a> 0)

Abstract: The Pad'e table of

p h a n t o m_{2} F_{1} (a, 1; c; z)

is normal for

c > a > 0

(cf. cite{3}). For

m g e q n - 1

and

c o t i n {z z}^{p h a n t o m^{-}}

, the denominator polynomial

Q_{m n} (z)

in the

[m / n]

Pad'e approximant

P_{m n} (z) / Q_{m n} (z)

for

p h a n t o m_{2} F_{1} (a, 1; c; z)

and the remainder term

Q_{m n} (z) p h a n t o m_{2} F_{1} (a, 1; c; z) - P_{m n} (z)

were explicitly evaluated by Pad'e (cf. cite{2}, cite{5} or cite{7}). We show that for

c > a > 0

and

m g e q n - 1

, the poles of

P_{m n} (z) / Q_{m n} (z)

lie on the cut

(1, i n f t y)

. We deduce that the sequence of approximants

P_{m n} (z) / Q_{m n} (z)

converges to

p h a n t o m_{2} F_{1} (a, 1; c; z)

as

m o i n f t y

,

n / m o h o

with

0 < h o l e q 1

, uniformly on compact subsets of the unit disc

| z | < 1

for

c > a > 0
