Abstract

In this paper, we prove a conjecture on a common region of a convergence of Pade iterations for the matrix sector function. For this purpose, we show that all Pade approximants to a special case of hypergeometric function have a power series expansion with positive coefficients. Using a sharpened version of Schwarz's lemma, we also demonstrate a better estimate of the convergence speed. Our results are also applicable to a family of rational iterations for computing the matrix pth root.
