Rational approximations to fractional powers of self-adjoint positive operators

Numerical Analysis 2024-03-19 v1

Abstract

We investigate the rational approximation of fractional powers of unbounded positive operators attainable with a specific integral representation of the operator function. We provide accurate error bounds by exploiting classical results in approximation theory involving Pad\'{e} approximants. The analysis improves some existing results and the numerical experiments proves its accuracy.
