Abstract:
We present a package to perform partial fraction decompositions of multivariate rational functions. The algorithm allows to systematically avoid spurious denominator factors and is capable of producing unique results also when being applied to terms of a sum separately. Partial fraction decomposition is widely used in particle physics to bring rational functions into a unique form. Treating the multivariate case by applying the univariate method iteratively risks the introduction of spurious singularities. Here, we formulate an algorithm that handles non-linear multivariate denominators, avoids the introduction of spurious denominators, and aims at providing good performance for typical applications in particle physics. It can be used to obtain unique results also when decomposing individual terms of a sum separately, independent of the details of the input form. A variant of the approach allows to reach a Le?nartas decomposition as the output form.
