Abstract

This paper is concerned with the minimax approximation of a discrete data set by rational functions. The second algorithm of Remes is applied. A crucial stage of this algorithm is solving the nonlinear system of leveling equations. In this paper, we will give a new approach for this purpose. In this approach, no initial guesses are required. Illustrative numerical example is presented.
