Spurious poles in diagonal rational approximation

From MaRDI portal





In the paper the behavior of spurious poles of fast converging rational functions is investigated. It is well-known that any function meromorphic in \({\mathbf C}\) admits fast rational approximation, i.e. there exist rational functions \(R_ n\) of type \((n,n)\), \(n\geq 1\), such that \(\lim_{n\to\infty} \| f-R_ n\|^{1/n}_{L_ \infty(K)}=0\) for any compact set \(K\subseteq{\mathbf C}\). But the property of fast rational approximability holds for the larger Gonchar-Walsh classes of functions on open sets \(U\subseteq{\mathbf C}\). The problem of spurious poles for diagonal and sectorial sequences of rational approximants to functions in the Gonchar-Walsh classes is discussed on a non-technical level. Recent results about the distribuiton of poles are presented and proofs are sketched. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0764.00001].
