Two-point Padé approximants for Stieltjes functions and their application to composite materials
Stanisław Tokarzewski, Józef J. Telega
Abstract
By employing special continued fractions to asymptotic expansions at zero and infinity, the convergence of the balanced and unbalanced two-point Padé approximants (2PPA) to a Stieltjes function is studied in a real domain. We prove that certain balanced and unbalanced two-point Padé approximants form a monotone sequence of upper and lower bounds uniformly converging to a Stieltjes function. The observed monotone and uniform convergence of 2PPA is exemplified in the evaluation of bounds on the effective transport coefficients of periodic inhomogeneous media.
