can be expressed in terms of elementary functions if and only if there exists some rational function h such that it is a solution to the differential equation:
In recent years, some novel dispersive models have been introduced, for example, the complex-conjugate pole-residue (CCPR) model [3], critical point (CP) model [4], modified Lorentz (m-Lo) model [5], and quadratic complex rational function (QCRF) model [6].
Lump solutions are a type of rational function solutions, localized in all directions in the space.
Let R be a rational function (or a polynomial) that belongs asymptotically to [kr.sup.[alpha]] as r [right arrow] [infinity], where k [not equal to] 0, a are constants.
One of them is that, given a non-constant rational function f, with rational coefficients, if [xi] is a Liouville number, then so is f([xi]).
Several types of approximations are available in the literature, for example, by use of Functional approach, Sampling approach, Geometric approach, Weight function approach, Adomain approach, Composition approach and Rational function approach.
This method uses the rational function of the PDN impedance in the time domain based on measurements.
and for f, g [member of] K[[X.sub.1],...,[X.sub.n]], all the degrees above may be extended for the rational function f / g as the maximum between the corresponding degrees of f and g:
