Links are made with more applied subjects such as linear system theory and signal processing, and with more advanced topics and recent results such as general bi-orthogonal polynomials, minimal Padé approximation, polynomial root location problems in the complex plane, very general rational interpolation problems, and the lifting scheme for wavelet transform computation. The text serves as a supplement to existing books on structured linear algebra problems, rational approximation and orthogonal polynomials.
Features of this book:
• provides a unifying approach to linear algebra, rational approximation and orthogonal polynomials
• requires an elementary knowledge of calculus and linear algebra yet introduces advanced topics.
The book will be of interest to applied mathematicians and engineers and to students and researchers.
