"Rational approximants, sequences and series, and applications"

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Rational approximation, including Padé approximation, is one of the main areas in Approximation Theory. The study of multivariate rational approximants is relatively new, partly because of the computational difficulties involved, and lends itself to experimentation with computer algebra packages. Part of our intention is to make as much of the study as systematic as possible, and to construct as many of the explicit approximants as we can. In the past few years, we successfully constructed explicit multivariate Padé approximants to some multivariate functions. Part of this proposal is to keep the momentum and explore more explicit constructions. There are many exciting mathematical and physical applications of these constructions that cover the spectrum from Number Theory to Signal Processing. We already have had several applications in Number Theory, and are going to explore more in Number Theory and Fourier Analysis.
