A Nondegenerate Interpolation Continued Fraction
摘要
It is shown that Thiele’s interpolation continued fraction has either 2k - 1 approximants if a function is a k th degree polynomial or 2k approximants for the function g(z) = a/(z - α)k. We specify the conditions under which the coefficients of the continued fraction are finite and nonzero. For a given set of values of functions at the nodes, we propose an algorithm that either constructs a nondegenerate interpolation continued fraction or proves the impossibility of this construction. We also present some examples.
