帕德近似

帕德近似（英语：Padé approximant）是法国数学家亨利·帕德发明的有理多项式近似法。帕德近似往往比截断的泰勒级数准确，而且当泰勒级数不收敛时，帕德近似往往仍可行，所以多用于在计算机数学中。

例如 ${\frac {1}{1-x}}$ 的泰勒级数

$1+x+x^{2}+x^{3}+\cdots$ 只有在 $-1<x<1$ 时收敛，不如原函数广泛。

定义

给定自然数m和正整数n, 函数 $f(x)$ 的[m,n]阶帕德近似为

R(x)={\frac {\sum _{j=0}^{m}a_{j}x^{j}}{1+\sum _{k=1}^{n}b_{k}x^{k}}}={\frac {a_{0}+a_{1}x+a_{2}x^{2}+\cdots +a_{m}x^{m}}{1+b_{1}x+b_{2}x^{2}+\cdots +b_{n}x^{n}}}

并且

{\begin{array}{rcl}f(0)&=&R(0)\\f'(0)&=&R'(0)\\f''(0)&=&R''(0)\\&\vdots &\\f^{(m+n)}(0)&=&R^{(m+n)}(0)\end{array}}

对于给定的 $m,n$ 函数 $f(x)$ 的[m,n]阶帕德近似是唯一的。

函数 $f(x)$ 的帕德近似记为

[m/n]_{f}(x).\,

[6/6]_{\sin(x)}={\frac {(12671/4363920)*x^{5}-(2363/18183)*x^{3}+x}{1+(445/12122)*x^{2}+(601/872784)*x^{4}+(121/16662240)*x^{6}}}

$[6/6]_{\sin(x)}$ 的6+6=12阶泰勒级数展开为

{x-(1/6)*x^{3}+(1/120)*x^{5}-(1/5040)*x^{7}+(1/362880)*x^{9}-(1/39916800)*x^{11}+O(x^{13})}

和

\sin(x)

的12阶泰勒级数全同：

\sin(x)\approx {x-(1/6)*x^{3}+(1/120)*x^{5}-(1/5040)*x^{7}+(1/362880)*x^{9}-(1/39916800)*x^{11}+O(x^{13})}

[5/5]_{exp(x)}={\frac {1+(1/9)*x^{2}+(1/2)*x+(1/72)*x^{3}+(1/1008)*x^{4}+(1/30240)*x^{5}}{1+(1/9)*x^{2}-(1/2)*x-(1/72)*x^{3}+(1/1008)*x^{4}-(1/30240)*x^{5}}}

其泰勒级数为

{1+x+(1/2)*x^{2}+(1/6)*x^{3}+(1/24)*x^{4}+(1/120)*x^{5}+(1/720)*x^{6}+(1/5040)*x^{7}+(1/40320)*x^{8}+(1/362880)*x^{9}+(1/3628800)*x^{10}+(23/914457600)*x^{11}+O(x^{12})}

与exp(x)本身的泰勒级数展开的前10阶完全等同：

{1+x+(1/2)*x^{2}+(1/6)*x^{3}+(1/24)*x^{4}+(1/120)*x^{5}+(1/720)*x^{6}+(1/5040)*x^{7}+(1/40320)*x^{8}+(1/362880)*x^{9}+(1/3628800)*x^{10}+(1/39916800)*x^{11}+O(x^{12})}

又如

f:={\frac {1-\cos(2*x)^{2}}{1+\arctan(3*x)}}

[3/3]_{f(x)}={\frac {(64/75)*x^{3}+4*x^{2}}{1+(241/75)*x+(148/75)*x^{2}-(1061/225)*x^{3}}}

{\frac {-(9853969/39583665)*z^{5}-(1493060/2638911)*z^{3}+z}{1+(968375/879637)*z^{2}-(1167506/7916733)*z^{4}+(867043/2159109)*z^{6}}}

{\frac {-(107/28416000)*x^{7}+(1/3840)*x^{5}}{1+(151/5550)*x^{2}+(1453/3729600)*x^{4}+(1339/358041600)*x^{6}+(2767/120301977600)*x^{8}}}

{\frac {(2/15)*(49140*x+3570*x^{3}+739*x^{5})}{(165*{\sqrt {\pi }}*x^{4}+1330*{\sqrt {\pi }}*x^{2}+3276*{\sqrt {\pi }})}}{}

{\frac {(1/135)*(990791*x^{9}*\pi ^{4}-147189744*x^{5}*\pi ^{2}+8714684160*x)}{(1749*\pi ^{4}*x^{8}+523536*\pi ^{2}*x^{4}+64553216)}}
