ABSTRACT

This chapter deals with the exact analytical expression for the general Padé spectrum. Instead of the continued fractions being introduced in an indirect way into the spectral analysis, they can be brought to the subject in a direct manner. The explicit results that are derived in the chapter express both p~n,n-r and q~n,n-r as the compact analytical formulae for arbitrary values of non-negative integers {n, r}. The closed analytical expressions contain only the continued fraction coefficients {an}.
