Results are obtained for the existence, uniqueness and order of approximation for both 'normal' and 'non-normal' cases. Some illustrative examples are given.enCopyright Allan William McInnesintegral function approximationorder of approximationHermite-Pade approximationExistence and uniqueness of algebraic function approximationsDiscussion / Working PapersFields of Research::49 - Mathematical sciences::4904 - Pure mathematics::490401 - Algebra and number theory
