Abstract
Using the technique of Pade Approximants for the correlation contributions of charged particles we are able to reproduce complex mathematical expressi ons by simple algebraic formulas. The Fade formulas are analytical expressi ons, which interpolate between certain density temperature regions and are characterized by exact asymptotics. We present a semi-relativistic descript ion of the thermodynamics applicable for stellar interiors. Comparisons wit h equation-of-state data obtained by other calculational schemes are presen ted.
