Chebyshev rational functions are a specific type of rational function derived from Chebyshev polynomials that approximate continuous functions with desirable properties such as minimization of the maximum error. These functions play a significant role in numerical analysis and approximation theory, especially for interpolation and function approximation tasks, providing high accuracy with fewer terms than traditional polynomial approximations.
