KnowraPadé approximantLinked fromLinked fromThe 9 pages that link to Padé approximant, each with the reason it gives.All 9Broader topic 2Related 2Compared with 5Continued fractionCompared with: Padé approximants also use ratios, but approximate functions locally rather than encode numbers through integer terms.Rational functionRelated: Rational approximations can capture behavior that polynomial approximations miss.Rational approximationBroader topic: It builds a rational approximation by matching the target function’s series coefficients.Small-angle approximationRelated: It offers an alternative approximation when a simple linear replacement is not accurate enough.Taylor polynomialCompared with: It can approximate functions better than a Taylor polynomial away from the expansion point.Partial fraction decompositionCompared with: It approximates a series with a rational function, whereas partial fractions exactly decompose one.Approximation theoryBroader topic: It offers a concrete rational alternative to truncating a power series.Lie product formulaCompared with: Rational approximations offer another way to compute exponentials of operators.Series expansionCompared with: It can capture poles and improve approximations beyond a series' convergence disk.
