A novel application of the Pade approximation is proposed in which the Pade approximant is used as an interpolation for the small and large coupling behaviors of a physical system, resulting in a prediction of the behavior of the system at…
The use of Pade approximants for the description of QCD matrix elements is discussed in this talk. We will see how they prove to be an extremely useful tool, specially in the case of resonant amplitudes. It will allow the inclusion of…
We report on a recent calculation of the top decay rate up to order \alpha_s^2. It is based on asymptotic expansions of the off-shell top propagator, followed by a Pad\'e approximation in order to reach the physically relevant point…
Pade-approximant methods are used to extract information about leading positive zeros or poles of QCD and SQCD beta-functions from the known terms of their perturbative series. For QCD, such methods are seen to corroborate the…
We present a method of estimating perturbative coefficients in Quantum Field Theory using Pade Approximants. We test this method on various known QCD results, and find that the method works very well.
In this lecture I present some of the new developments concerning the use of Pade Approximants (PA's) for resumming perturbative series in QCD. It is shown that PA's tend to reduce the renormalization scale and scheme dependence as compared…
We point out that resonance saturation in QCD can be understood in the large-Nc limit from the mathematical theory of Pade Approximants to meromorphic functions. These approximants are rational functions which encompass any saturation with…
We discuss Pad\'e-improvement of known four-loop order results based upon an asymptotic three-parameter error formula for Pad\'e-approximants. We derive an explicit formula estimating the next-order coefficient $R_4$ from the previous…
We study the applicability of Pade Approximants (PA) to estimate a "sum" of asymptotic series of the type appearing in QCD. We indicate that one should not expect PA to converge for positive values of the coupling constant and propose to…
A method is suggested for treating the well-known deficiency in the use of Pade approximants that are well suited for approximating rational functions, but confront problems in approximating irrational functions. We develop the approach of…
Asymptotic Pade-approximant methods are utilized to estimate the leading-order unknown (i.e., not-yet-calculated) contributions to the perturbative expansions of two-current QCD correlation functions obtained from scalar-channel fermion and…
As is well known, in mathematics, any function could be approximated by the Pad\'e approximant. The Pad\'e approximant is the best approximation of a function by a rational function of given order. In fact, the Pad\'e approximant often…
Usually the simulation of scattering processes in lattice QCD is carried out at unphysically high values of the quark masses. Hence, a method to extrapolate data obtained in lattice calculations to physical masses is needed to allow for…
In the large-Nc limit of QCD, the chiral expansion of the vacuum polarization at low energies determines the whole function at any arbitrarily large (but finite) energy. This result is an immediate consequence of the Theory of Pade…
We approximate given potentials by means of the specially introduced reference potentials. On the one hand their parameters may be easily found from the usual WKB integral for the given potential; on the other hand they allow a simple…
Corrections of $O(\alpha_s^2)$ to the decay of the top quark into a W boson and a bottom quark are calculated. The method is based on an expansion of the top quark propagator for small external momentum, q, as compared to the top quark…
We study an expansion method for high-dimensional parabolic PDEs which constructs accurate approximate solutions by decomposition into solutions to lower-dimensional PDEs, and which is particularly effective if there are a low number of…
We construct explicitly Pad\'e approximations of the second kind for a special class of G-functions. These are then applied to prove a Baker-type lower bound for linear forms in the p-adic values of these functions. Moreover, we consider…
We have applied Pade approximants to perturbative QCD calculations of event shape observables in e+e- --> hadrons. We used the exact O(alpha_s^2) prediction and the [0/1] Pade approximant to estimate the O(alpha_s^3) term for 15…
We propose the use of two point Pade approximants to find expressions valid uniformly in coupling constant for theories with both weak and strong coupling expansions. In particular, one can use these approximants in models with a…
