Abstract
The Padé table is a method of generating rational approximating functions to a given function. Recently, various authors have considered generalisations giving approximants which are algebraic functions or satisfy algebraic differential equations. We show how these schemes fit into an even more general theory of algebraic approximation of functions and list the rather few known examples in which the construction can be given explicitly.
