O. Wing et al., RATIONAL APPROXIMATION OF IRRATIONAL FUNCTIONS BY LINEAR FRACTIONAL TRANSFORMATIONS, IEEE transactions on circuits and systems. 1, Fundamental theory andapplications, 45(11), 1998, pp. 1216-1221
The cascaded two-port circuit theory is generalized and applied to the
approximation of the square root of a rational function by a rational
function in the form of a chain of linear fractional transformations.
We prove the convergence of the approximation, and derive an explicit
expression of the relative error in terms of the two-port parameters
and the order of approximation. Examples are given.
