5 Notation mapping between Saunders/Smith algorithm and original Kovacis
algorithm
I have implemented the original Kovacis algorithm using Maple 2021 based on the original
paper (1). The following are notation difference between the two algorithms and the
implementation by Smith [3] that I found.
- Kovacis algorithm uses defined as for the case when . Smith algorithm uses
for the part only. In both algorithms the value is calculated in the same way. It
is the coefficient of in the Laurent series expansion of at . But we do not need
to find Laurent series expansion of at to find here. It can be found using where
and .
- Smith algorithm finds values for each pole. This is part b of step 1 for poles of
order 2, these correspond to only the part in Kovacis algorithm (this is part c2
of step1), where there it finds for each pole and where is the coefficient of
in the partial fraction decomposition of . This value is also the same for Smith
algorithm in its .
More mappings to be added next.
