Legendre-Pade Approximation

13 Jun 2004 (Updated 16 Jun 2004)

Computes the Legendre Pade approximation to an analytic function.

File Information
Description	Computes a rational approximation to an analytic function using Legendre Polynomials. Sample a function f(x) at the Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto nodes (see requirements) and this script computes the Legendre expansion coefficients of the functions a(x) and b(x) such that a/b~=f. Note f(x) must have a locally convergent Taylor series.
Acknowledgements	The author wishes to acknowledge the following in the creation of this submission: Legende-Gauss-Lobatto nodes and weights, LegendreExpansion.m
MATLAB release	MATLAB 6.0 (R12)
Other requirements	Requires lglnodes.m (File ID 4775)
