The Taylor expansion of a function
at
is written as
 |
(10) |
A popular example is
 |
(11) |
Here we mainly consider the following expansion formula:
 |
(12) |
The Páde expansion of Eq. (12) follows from expansion in continuous fractions:
 |
(13) |
I provide an informal derivation:
The 1st-order Pade expansion is:
 |
(14) |
The 2nd-order Pade expansion is:
 |
(15) |
And the 3rd-order one is:
 |
(16) |
