Summary
The problem of the construction of a table of interpolating rational functions is considered. A description of the methods of Larkin and Stoer for solving this problem is given. A new algorithm is derived for computing continued fractions whose convergents form the elements of the table. This algorithm has theqd-algorithm as a special case.
