The convergence of Padé approximants to functions with branch points

Herbert Stahl

- Vol. 91, Iss: 2, pp 139-204
TLDR
In this paper, the convergence of Pade approximants is studied under two types of assumptions: in the first case the function f to be approximated has to have all its singularities in a compact set E ⊆ C of capacity zero (the function may be multi-valued in C \ E ), and in the second case f has to be analytic in a domain possessing a certain symmetry property (this notion is defined and discussed below).

The Holomorphic Embedding Method Applied to the Power-Flow Problem

TL;DR: The Holomorphic Embedding Load-Flow Method (HELM) as discussed by the authors solves the power-flow problem to obtain the bus voltages as rational approximants, that is, a ratio of complex-valued polynomials of the embedding parameter.

Robust Padé Approximation via SVD

TL;DR: The success of this algorithm suggests that there might be variants of Pade approximation that are pointwise convergent as the degrees of the numerator and denominator increase to $\infty$, unlike traditional Pade approximants, which converge only in measure or capacity.

Orthogonal polynomials with complex-valued weight function, II

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the asymptotic behavior of polynomials with degree ≥ n satisfying the orthogonal relation and proved that ωm+n(z) is a polynomial of degreem+n+1 with all its zeros contained inV, and the path of integrationC separatesV from the setE.

Extremal domains associated with an analytic function I

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that there exist extremal domains D 0 with minimal condenser capacity, and that these domains are uniquely determined up to a boundary set of capacity zero.
