Abstract:

Recent interest in rational approximations to ${e^{ - x}}$ in $[0, + \infty )$, arising naturally in numerical methods for approximating solutions of heat-conduction-type parabolic differential equations, has generated results showing that the best Chebyshev rational approximations to ${e^{ - x}}$, and to reciprocals of certain entire functions, have errors for the interval $[0, + \infty )$ which converge geometrically to zero. We present here some related converse results in the spirit of the work of S. N. Bernstein.
