Abstract

Given a vector of functions f = (f o,…, f m), with each analytic in an open set D

containing the origin, 0 ≤ jm, the relationship between Hermite-Padé polynomials of Type I and Type II is examined. A best simultaneous rational approximant for f on any compact subset K of D is defined, and we prove that when the error in best simultaneous rational approximation tends to zero faster than geometrically, certain sequences of Hermite-Padé Type I and Type II approximants to f converge in capacity.
