Abstract

We give a short introduction to Pade approximation (rational approximation to a function with close contact at one point) and to Hermite-Pade approximation (simultaneous rational approximation to several functions with close contact at one point) and show how orthogonality plays a crucial role. We give some insight into how logarithmic potential theory helps in describing the asymptotic behavior and the convergence properties of Pade and Hermite-Pade approximation.
