Sparse interpolation of multivariate rational functions

The approach is new and builds on the normalization of the rational function's representation. Our method can be combined with probabilistic and deterministic components from sparse polynomial black box interpolation to suit either an exact or a finite precision computational environment. The latter is illustrated with several examples, running from exact finite field arithmetic to noisy floating point evaluations. In general, the performance of our sparse rational black box interpolation depends on the choice of the employed sparse polynomial black box interpolation. If the early termination Ben-Or/Tiwari algorithm is used, our method achieves rational interpolation in O(τd) black box evaluations and thus is sensitive to the sparsity of the multivariate f.
