Commonly used techniques to study non-perturbative aspects of the strong interactions have a deep connection with rational approximants, and in particular with Pade approximants to meromorphic functions. However, only recently this connection has been acknowledged and efforts at fully exploiting it are only starting. In this article I will briefly review the most prominent techniques used in non-perturbative strong interactions with special emphasis on its relation with Pade approximants. I will then concentrate on a set of open problems outside the scope of these conventional techniques where Pade approximants might be extremely useful.
Perturbative QCD corrections to hadronic $tau$ decays and $e^+e^-$ annihilation into hadrons below charm are obtained from the Adler function, which at present is known in the chiral limit to five-loop accuracy. Extractions of the strong coupling, $a
We propose a novel Bayesian method to analytically continue observables to real baryochemical potential $mu_B$ in finite density QCD. Taylor coefficients at $mu_B=0$ and data at imaginary chemical potential $mu_B^I$ are treated on equal footing. We c
Given a system of functions f = (f1, . . . , fd) analytic on a neighborhood of some compact subset E of the complex plane, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence with geometric rate of the common denominators of multipoint He
Starting from the orthogonal polynomial expansion of a function $F$ corresponding to a finite positive Borel measure with infinite compact support, we study the asymptotic behavior of certain associated rational functions (Pad{e}-orthogonal approxima
Let $f$ be a power series with positive radius of convergence. In the present paper, we study the phenomenon of overconvergence of sequences of classical Pade approximants pi{n,m_n} associated with f, where m(n)<=m(n+1)<=m(n) and m(n) = o(n/log n), r
