Analysis of Convergence and Truncation Error of Expansions of Functions of Aerospace Physics and Engineering.

Abstract

This research deals mainly with convergence, speed of convergence, and truncation error estimation of Pade approximants and continued fractions and of the application of these and other known results to expansions of functions of aerospace physics and engineering. It is also concerned with the development of algorithms and computational techniques to aid in the practical application of the methods. The research problems and results involve the general areas of numerical and computational analysis, approximation methods, applied complex analysis, special functions, and the analytic theory of Pade approximants and continued fractions.
