Abstract

In this chapter, we construct rational approximations of PSWFs. More specifically, we approximate the reciprocal of ψ n in the interval ( −1,1) by a rational function having n poles (these poles happen to be precisely the n roots of ψ n in (−1,1)). Also, we derive explicit bounds on the error of such approximations. The underlying analysis is based on a detailed investigation of certain properties of PSWFs outside the interval (−1,1) (see also [49, 50]).
