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, $a lpha_s$, from these processes suffer from an ambiguity related to the treatment of unknown higher orders in the perturbative series. In this work, we exploit the method of Pade approximants and its convergence theorems to extract information about higher-order corrections to the Adler function in a systematic way. First, the method is tested in the large-$beta_0$ limit of QCD, where the perturbative series is known to all orders. We devise strategies to accelerate the convergence of the method employing renormalization scheme variations and the so-called D-log Pade approximants. The success of these strategies can be understood in terms of the analytic structure of the series in the Borel plane. We then apply the method to full QCD and obtain reliable model-independent predictions for the higher-order coefficients of the Adler function. For the six-, seven-, and eight-loop coefficients we find $c_{5,1} = 277pm 51$, $c_{6,1}=3460pm 690$, and $c_{7,1}=(2.02pm0.72)times 10^4$, respectively, with errors to be understood as lower and upper bounds. Our model-independent reconstruction of the perturbative QCD corrections to the $tau$ hadronic width strongly favours the use of fixed-order perturbation theory (FOPT) for the renormalization-scale setting.
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 onsider two different constructions for the Pade approximants, the classical multipoint Pade approximation and a mixed approximation that is a slight generalization of a recent idea in Pade approximation theory. Approximants with spurious poles are excluded from the analysis. As an application, we perform a joint analysis of the available continuum extrapolated lattice data for both pseudocritical temperature $T_c$ at $mu_B^I$ from the Wuppertal-Budapest Collaboration and Taylor coefficients $kappa_2$ and $kappa_4$ from the HotQCD Collaboration. An apparent convergence of $[p/p]$ and $[p/p+1]$ sequences of rational functions is observed with increasing $p.$ We present our extrapolation up to $mu_Bapprox 600$ MeV.
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 rmite-Pade approximants. The exact rate of convergence of these denominators and of the approximants themselves is given in terms of the analytic properties of the system of functions. These results allow to detect the location of the poles of the system of functions which are in some sense closest to E.
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 nts). We obtain both direct and inverse results relating the convergence of the poles of the approximants and the singularities of $F.$ Thereby, we obtain analogues of the theorems of E. Fabry, R. de Montessus de Ballore, V.I. Buslaev, and S.P. Suetin.
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 esp. m(n) = 0(n) as n is going to infiity. We extend classical results by J. Hadamard and A. A. Ostrowski related to overconvergent Taylor polynomials, as well as results by G. Lopez Lagomasino and A. Fernandes Infante concerning overconvergent subsequences of a fixed row of the Pade table.
