Convergence of repeated-pole rational approximation of the exponential on infinite sectors
For $h>0$, degree $m\ge0$, $0\le\beta<\pi$, and $q>0$, let $\Sigma_\beta=\{re^{i\theta}:r\ge0,\ |\theta|\le\beta/2\}$ and let $E_{m,\beta}(q)$ denote the best uniform error for approximating $e^{-hz}$ on $\Sigma_\beta$ by rational functions whose only possible finite pole is $s=-q/h$, with multiplicity at most $m$.
