Uniform Approximations for Transcendental Functions
A heuristic method to construct uniform approximations to analytic transcendental functions is developed as a generalization of the Hermite-Pad´e interpolation to infinite intervals. The resulting uniform approximants are built from elementary functions using known series and asymptotic expansions of the given transcendental function. In one case (Lambert’s W function) we obtained a uniform approximation valid in the entire complex plane. Several examples of the application of this method to selected transcendental functions are given.
