Abstract

Parameterized representations of the equation of state play an important role in efforts to measure the properties of the matter in the cores of neutron stars using astronomical observations. New representations are presented here that are capable of representing any equation of state to any desired level of accuracy, while automatically imposing causality and thermodynamic stability constraints. Numerical tests are presented that measure how accurately and efficiently these new parameterizations represent a collection of causal nuclear-theory model equations of state.
