Continued Fraction summation representation

46 Views Asked by At

I have a rational fraction of the form:

$$s=\frac{p_0+p_1x+p_2x^2+\cdots+p_Mx^M}{1+q_1x+q_2x^2+\cdots+q_Mx^M} $$

The paper I am reading converts this to the form:

$$s = b_0+\sum^M_{m=1}\frac{b_m}{\lambda_m+x}$$

But it doesn't show any steps. Does anyone know the steps for how they got the second equation?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers
