Abstract
In the table of multivariate rational interpolants the entries are arranged such that the row index indicates the number of numerator coefficients and the column index the number of denominator coefficients. If the homogeneous system of linear equations defining the denominator coefficients has maximal rank, then the rational interpolant can be represented as a quotient of determinants. If this system has a rank deficiency, then we identify the rational interpolant with another element from the table using less interpolation conditions for its computation and we describe the effect this dependence of interpolation conditions has on the structure of the table of multivariate rational interpolants. In the univariate case the table of solutions to the rational interpolation problem is composed of triangles of so-called minimal solutions, having minimal degree in numerator and denominator and using a minimal number of interpolation conditions to determine the solution.
