Abstract:

Some results are established giving conditions on $f(x)$ so that its main diagonal Padé approximation ${R_n}(x)$ is of the form ${P_n}(x)/{P_n}( - x)$, where ${P_n}(x)$ is a polynomial in x of degree n. A number of applications to special functions are presented. Numerical computations are given for the gamma function using the "bignum" arithmetical facilities of formula manipulation languages REDUCE2, FORMAC.
