During this procedure the kernel generates an equation that contains only coefficients of β(r)0 and β(r)1. As a result, after truncating at the end of the nth cycle, it is a simple matter to write down a Padé-type approximation: all coefficients in this approximation are capable of being evaluated in terms of simple algebraic formulations of P(r), R(r), and integrals over P(r).The zeroes of the denominator of the Padé-type approximation define the points where singularities occur in β(r).
