Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asymptotic Approximations of Integrals deals with the methods used in the asymptotic approximation of integrals. Topics covered range from logarithmic singularities and the summability method to the distributional approach and the Mellin transform technique for multiple integrals. Uniform asymptotic expansions via a rational transformation are also discussed, along with double integrals with a curve of stationary points. For completeness, classical methods are examined as well. Comprised of nine chapters, this volume begins with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of asymptotics, followed by a discussion on classical techniques used in the asymptotic evaluation of integrals, including Laplace's method, Mellin transform techniques, and the summability method. Subsequent chapters focus on the elementary theory of distributions; the distributional approach; uniform asymptotic expansions; and integrals which depend on auxiliary parameters in addition to the asymptotic variable. The book concludes by considering double integrals and higher-dimensional integrals. This monograph is intended for graduate students and research workers in mathematics, physics, and engineering.

Download or read book Asymptotic Methods For Integrals written by Nico M Temme and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives introductory chapters on the classical basic and standard methods for asymptotic analysis, such as Watson's lemma, Laplace's method, the saddle point and steepest descent methods, stationary phase and Darboux's method. The methods, explained in great detail, will obtain asymptotic approximations of the well-known special functions of mathematical physics and probability theory. After these introductory chapters, the methods of uniform asymptotic analysis are described in which several parameters have influence on typical phenomena: turning points and transition points, coinciding saddle and singularities. In all these examples, the special functions are indicated that describe the peculiar behavior of the integrals.The text extensively covers the classical methods with an emphasis on how to obtain expansions, and how to use the results for numerical methods, in particular for approximating special functions. In this way, we work with a computational mind: how can we use certain expansions in numerical analysis and in computer programs, how can we compute coefficients, and so on.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis analyzes asymptotic approximations expansions for integrals, with several examples given. The main part of this research consists in studying the function g(x) = (1 + 1=x)x, which has the limit e as x → ∞. In a 2014 paper C.-P. Chen and J. Choi previously studied this function through an asymptotic expansion for large x. Our main focus is on the coefficients that appear in their expansion. Chen and Choi obtained an explicit formula for the coefficients, but it involves a sum of terms that grows exponentially in number. Our contribution is to find the coefficients in a more practical way, and also to determine the asymptotic behavior of the nth term as n → ∞. We derive a recursion formula, and we show it is simple to use and is numerically stable. We then use Cauchy’s integral formula to derive an explicit integral representation for the coefficients. From this we approximate the late coefficients by residue theory, and this approximation consists of two simple terms. We show the accuracy of the approximation with some numerical examples. We finally determine an integral representation of the error term in our asymptotic approximation, and from this show that is of smaller order of magnitude than the two leading terms.
Download or read book Approximating Integrals via Monte Carlo and Deterministic Methods written by Michael Evans and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000-03-23 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to introduce graduate students and researchers to the primary methods useful for approximating integrals. The emphasis is on those methods that have been found to be of practical use, and although the focus is on approximating higher- dimensional integrals the lower-dimensional case is also covered. Included in the book are asymptotic techniques, multiple quadrature and quasi-random techniques as well as a complete development of Monte Carlo algorithms. For the Monte Carlo section importance sampling methods, variance reduction techniques and the primary Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithms are covered. This book brings these various techniques together for the first time, and hence provides an accessible textbook and reference for researchers in a wide variety of disciplines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asymptotic analysis is an old subject that has found applications in vari ous fields of pure and applied mathematics, physics and engineering. For instance, asymptotic techniques are used to approximate very complicated integral expressions that result from transform analysis. Similarly, the so lutions of differential equations can often be computed with great accuracy by taking the sum of a few terms of the divergent series obtained by the asymptotic calculus. In view of the importance of these methods, many excellent books on this subject are available [19], [21], [27], [67], [90], [91], [102], [113]. An important feature of the theory of asymptotic expansions is that experience and intuition play an important part in it because particular problems are rather individual in nature. Our aim is to present a sys tematic and simplified approach to this theory by the use of distributions (generalized functions). The theory of distributions is another important area of applied mathematics, that has also found many applications in mathematics, physics and engineering. It is only recently, however, that the close ties between asymptotic analysis and the theory of distributions have been studied in detail [15], [43], [44], [84], [92], [112]. As it turns out, generalized functions provide a very appropriate framework for asymptotic analysis, where many analytical operations can be performed, and also pro vide a systematic procedure to assign values to the divergent integrals that often appear in the literature.

Download or read book Introduction To Asymptotics A Treatment Using Nonstandard Analysis written by Douglas S Jones and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1997-01-16 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many branches of science and engineering involve applications of mathematical analysis. An important part of applied analysis is asymptotic approximation which is, therefore, an active area of research with new methods and publications being found constantly. This book gives an introduction to the subject sufficient for scientists and engineers to grasp the fundamental techniques, both those which have been known for some time and those which have been discovered more recently. The asymptotic approximation of both integrals and differential equations is discussed and the discussion includes hyperasymptotics as well as uniform asymptotics. There are many numerical examples to illustrate the relation between theory and practice. Exercises in the chapters enable the book to be used as a text for an introductory course.
