Jul 19 at 7:46 comment added David Roberts Fiktor's links are really long urls, and the goo.gl link shortner is going away, so here is the first link drive.google.com/file/d/…, and the other two are broken.

Oct 19, 2010 at 12:56 comment added Fiktor I hoped for better results, but nevertheless your method works (number of (real) coefficients = 25--50% of the (total) number of data points). Some tests are in this Mathematica 7.0 file: goo.gl/65Bt. I've done a computational experiment: I've taken a function, data points from it (I've added small noise), and interpolated it by these points, using your method. On the following images dotted line is initial function. Re: goo.gl/2IQK, Im: goo.gl/vFPW. Often coefficients do not obey inequalities, so I am constraining them. Thank you for your answer.

Oct 17, 2010 at 5:32 comment added Dylan Thurston Concretely, Greg's suggestion amounts to fitting your original function $N(x)$ by $\sum_{k\ge 0} a_k \left(\frac{i-z}{i+z}\right)^k$. I might try doing this naively first, and hoping that the additional convex constraints are satisfied automatically.
