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.

Download or read book Nonstandard Asymptotic Analysis written by Imme van den Berg and published by Springer. This book was released on 2006-11-15 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research monograph considers the subject of asymptotics from a nonstandard view point. It is intended both for classical asymptoticists - they will discover a new approach to problems very familiar to them - and for nonstandard analysts but includes topics of general interest, like the remarkable behaviour of Taylor polynomials of elementary functions. Noting that within nonstandard analysis, "small", "large", and "domain of validity of asymptotic behaviour" have a precise meaning, a nonstandard alternative to classical asymptotics is developed. Special emphasis is given to applications in numerical approximation by convergent and divergent expansions: in the latter case a clear asymptotic answer is given to the problem of optimal approximation, which is valid for a large class of functions including many special functions. The author's approach is didactical. The book opens with a large introductory chapter which can be read without much knowledge of nonstandard analysis. Here the main features of the theory are presented via concrete examples, with many numerical and graphic illustrations. N

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An introduction to nonstandard analysis based on a course given by the author. It is suitable for beginning graduates or upper undergraduates, or for self-study by anyone familiar with elementary real analysis. It presents nonstandard analysis not just as a theory about infinitely small and large numbers, but as a radically different way of viewing many standard mathematical concepts and constructions. It is a source of new ideas, objects and proofs, and a wealth of powerful new principles of reasoning. The book begins with the ultrapower construction of hyperreal number systems, and proceeds to develop one-variable calculus, analysis and topology from the nonstandard perspective. It then sets out the theory of enlargements of fragments of the mathematical universe, providing a foundation for the full-scale development of the nonstandard methodology. The final chapters apply this to a number of topics, including Loeb measure theory and its relation to Lebesgue measure on the real line. Highlights include an early introduction of the ideas of internal, external and hyperfinite sets, and a more axiomatic set-theoretic approach to enlargements than is usual.
Download or read book Asymptotics and Mellin Barnes Integrals written by R. B. Paris and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-09-24 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asymptotics and Mellin-Barnes Integrals, first published in 2001, provides an account of the use and properties of a type of complex integral representation that arises frequently in the study of special functions typically of interest in classical analysis and mathematical physics. After developing the properties of these integrals, their use in determining the asymptotic behaviour of special functions is detailed. Although such integrals have a long history, the book's account includes recent research results in analytic number theory and hyperasymptotics. The book also fills a gap in the literature on asymptotic analysis and special functions by providing a thorough account of the use of Mellin-Barnes integrals that is otherwise not available in other standard references on asymptotics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transcendental equations arise in every branch of science and engineering. While most of these equations are easy to solve, some are not, and that is where this book serves as the mathematical equivalent of a skydiver's reserve parachute--not always needed, but indispensible when it is. The author's goal is to teach the art of finding the root of a single algebraic equation or a pair of such equations.
Download or read book Introduction to Asymptotics and Special Functions written by F. W. J. Olver and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Asymptotics and Special Functions is a comprehensive introduction to two important topics in classical analysis: asymptotics and special functions. The integrals of a real variable are discussed, along with contour integrals and differential equations with regular and irregular singularities. The Liouville-Green approximation is also considered. Comprised of seven chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the basic concepts and definitions of asymptotic analysis and special functions, followed by a discussion on integrals of a real variable. Contour integrals are then examined, paying particular attention to Laplace integrals with a complex parameter and Bessel functions of large argument and order. Subsequent chapters focus on differential equations having regular and irregular singularities, with emphasis on Legendre functions as well as Bessel and confluent hypergeometric functions. A chapter devoted to the Liouville-Green approximation tackles asymptotic properties with respect to parameters and to the independent variable, eigenvalue problems, and theorems on singular integral equations. This monograph is intended for students needing only an introductory course to asymptotics and special functions.
Download or read book A Tour Through Mathematical Logic written by Robert S. Wolf and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-03-10 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundations of mathematics include mathematical logic, set theory, recursion theory, model theory, and Gdel's incompleteness theorems. Professor Wolf provides here a guide that any interested reader with some post-calculus experience in mathematics can read, enjoy, and learn from. It could also serve as a textbook for courses in the foundations of mathematics, at the undergraduate or graduate level. The book is deliberately less structured and more user-friendly than standard texts on foundations, so will also be attractive to those outside the classroom environment wanting to learn about the subject.

Download or read book Nonarchimedean Fields and Asymptotic Expansions written by A. H. Lightstone and published by North-Holland. This book was released on 1975 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has been known for many years that there is a close link between nonarchimedean systems and the orders of infinity and of smallness that are associated with the asymptotic behaviour of a function. The present text provides a background for this connection from the point of view of nonstandard analysis. We have kept the argument at an elementary level and hope that the reader will find the book suitable as an introduction to nonstandard analysis as well as the theory of asymptotic expansions. The plan of the book is as follows. In the first chapter we introduce the notions of a nonarchimedean group and a nonarchimedean field and give several interesting examples of nonarchimedean fields. Chapter 2 contains an introduction to nonstandard analysis. The necessary resources from mathematical logic are brought in as we go along. In the following two chapters we link up the nonstandard models of analysis, themselves nonarchimedean fields, with a particular nonarchimedean field, here called£, which was first studied by Levi-Civita and Ostrowski and, more recently, by Laugwitz. Unlike the nonstandard models of analysis,£ is canonical (i.e. unique), but unlike the former it cannot be studied by means of a transfer principle. We introduce a natural link between£ and the nonstandard models, the field P(R. In the last three chapters of the book, we study the fundamentals of asymptotic expansions. Instead of keeping the discussion at a purely theoretical level, we offer a (happy, we hope) melange of numerical examples and infinitesimals. In sum, we believe that we have at least realized the modest aim of showing that infinitesimals and infinitely large numbers form a natural background to asymptotics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asymptotics and Special Functions provides a comprehensive introduction to two important topics in classical analysis: asymptotics and special functions. The integrals of a real variable and contour integrals are discussed, along with the Liouville-Green approximation and connection formulas for solutions of differential equations. Differential equations with regular singularities are also considered, with emphasis on hypergeometric and Legendre functions. Comprised of 14 chapters, this volume begins with an introduction to the basic concepts and definitions of asymptotic analysis and special functions, followed by a discussion on asymptotic theories of definite integrals containing a parameter. Contour integrals as well as integrals of a real variable are described. Subsequent chapters deal with the analytic theory of ordinary differential equations; differential equations with regular and irregular singularities; sums and sequences; and connection formulas for solutions of differential equations. The book concludes with an evaluation of methods used in estimating (as opposed to bounding) errors in asymptotic approximations and expansions. This monograph is intended for graduate mathematicians, physicists, and engineers.
Download or read book Asymptotic Analysis written by J.D. Murray and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the reviews: "A good introduction to a subject important for its capacity to circumvent theoretical and practical obstacles, and therefore particularly prized in the applications of mathematics. The book presents a balanced view of the methods and their usefulness: integrals on the real line and in the complex plane which arise in different contexts, and solutions of differential equations not expressible as integrals. Murray includes both historical remarks and references to sources or other more complete treatments. More useful as a guide for self-study than as a reference work, it is accessible to any upperclass mathematics undergraduate. Some exercises and a short bibliography included. Even with E.T. Copson's Asymptotic Expansions or N.G. de Bruijn's Asymptotic Methods in Analysis (1958), any academic library would do well to have this excellent introduction." (S.
