| 1. | They are obtained by applying rational approximations to the square root operator.
|
| 2. | Non-composite rational approximations have been developed by Shaw.
|
| 3. | :A big factor is the rational approximation of log 2 3.
|
| 4. | In fact could be computed from these rational approximations.
|
| 5. | The rational approximation ( H " 1.41429 ) is frequently used.
|
| 6. | Another rational approximation of that is far more accurate is 355 / 113.
|
| 7. | The are rational approximations to and two successive terms always enclose the true value of.
|
| 8. | The rational approximations are not trivial.
|
| 9. | Thus to incorporate a new term into a rational approximation, only the two previous convergents are necessary.
|
| 10. | Further deep results on rational approximation are due to, in particular, A . G . Vitushkin.
