Query: Reciprocal-log approximation and planar PDE solvers   This article is about both approximation theory and the numerical solution of
partial differential equations (PDEs). First we introduce the notion of {\em
reciprocal-log} or {\em log-lightning approximation} of analytic functions with
branch point singularities at points $\{z_k\}$ by functions of the form $g(z) =
\sum_k c_k /(\log(z-z_k) - s_k)$, which have $N$ poles potentially distributed
along a Riemann surface. We prove that the errors of best reciprocal-log
approximations decrease exponentially with respect to $N$ and that exponential
or near-exponential convergence (i.e., at a rate $O(\exp(-C N / \log N))$) also
holds for near-best approximations with preassigned singularities constructed
by linear least-squares fitting on the boundary. We then apply these results to
derive a "log-lightning method" for numerical solution of Laplace and related
PDEs in two-dimensional domains with corner singularities. The convergence is
near-exponential, in contrast to the root-exponential convergence for the
original lightning methods based on rational functions.
