AbstractWe consider the classical problem of finding the best uniform approximation by polynomials of$1/(x-a)^2,$where$a>1$is given, on the interval$[-\! 1,1]$. First, using symbolic computation tools we derive the explicit expressions of the polynomials of best approximation of low degrees and then give a parametric solution of the problem in terms of elliptic functions. Symbolic computation is invoked then once more to derive a recurrence relation for the coefficients of the polynomials of best uniform approximation based on a Pell-type equation satisfied by the solutions.

Asymptotic formulae of two sorts are found for the hypergeometric functions, of large order v , which arise when gas-flows are investigated by the hodograph method. These functions are monotonic for 'subsonic’ values of the argument T , oscillating for ‘supersonic’ values. (i) Elementary formulae, involving exponential or circular functions and singular at the sonic value T = T s , are developed to the terms in v -4 . When T is near T s these formulae give poor approximation, (ii) Formulae giving uniform approximation near T S involving Bessel functions, are developed to the terms in v -4 . These give 7-figure accuracy over the physically significant range of T , for │ v │ ≥ 10. The coefficients are tabulated for T = 0 (0·02) 0·50 for the case where the adiabatic index γ of the gas is 1·4.
