The
Taylor series
In mathematics, the Taylor series or Taylor expansion of a function is an infinite sum of terms that are expressed in terms of the function's derivatives at a single point. For most common functions, the function and the sum of its Taylor se ...

The
Padé approximant
In mathematics, a Padé approximant is the "best" approximation of a function near a specific point by a rational function of given order. Under this technique, the approximant's power series agrees with the power series of the function it is a ...

Heun function
In mathematics, the local Heun function H \ell (a,q;\alpha ,\beta, \gamma, \delta ; z) is the solution of Heun's differential equation that is holomorphic and 1 at the singular point ''z'' = 0. The local Heun function is called a Heun ...
