_Pade

it.grypho.scala.leonardo.scalar._Pade
case class _Pade(e: _Expression, v: _Variable, m: _Expression, n: _Expression) extends _Functional

Padé approximant [m/n] of e about zero: pade(e, v, m, n).

The rational function P/Q with deg P <= m, deg Q <= n and Q(0) = 1 whose Maclaurin series agrees with e's through order m + n. Frequently a much better approximation than the Taylor polynomial of the same total degree, because a rational function can model a nearby pole that no polynomial can.

Follows _Taylor's convention that v is the expansion variable rather than a binder -- free in the result, but excluded from children so substitute cannot rewrite it. Like _FourierSeries the coefficients are numeric, so m and n must fold to non-negative integers with m + n <= MaxTaylorOrder and every Maclaurin coefficient must reduce; anything else leaves the node symbolic, including the case where the linear system is singular and no [m/n] approximant exists.
