Abstract

AbstractThe convergence behavior of best uniform rational approximations with numerator degree m and denominator degree n to the function |x|α, α > 0, on [-1, 1] is investigated. It is assumed that the indices (m, n) progress along a ray sequence in the lower triangle of the Walsh table, i.e. the sequence of indices {(m, n)} satisfiesIn addition to the convergence behavior, the asymptotic distribution of poles and zeros of the approximants and the distribution of the extreme points of the error function on [-1, 1] will be studied. The results will be compared with those for paradiagonal sequences (m = n + 2[α/2]) and for sequences of best polynomial approximants.
