On the Convergence of Polynomial Approximation of Rational Functions

This paper investigates the convergence condition for the polynomial approximation of rational functions and rational curves. The main result, based on a hybrid expression of rational functions (or curves), is that two-point Hermite interpolation converges if all eigenvalue moduli of a certainr×rmatrix are less than 2, whereris the degree of the rational function (or curve), and where the elements of the matrix are expressions involving only the denominator polynomial coefficients (weights) of the rational function (or curve). As a corollary for the special case ofr=1, a necessary and sufficient condition for convergence is also obtained which only involves the roots of the denominator of the rational function and which is shown to be superior to the condition obtained by the traditional remainder theory for polynomial interpolation. For the low degree cases (r=1, 2, and 3), concrete conditions are derived. Application to rational Bernstein?Bezier curves is discussed.
