Asymptotic Analysis: A Distributional Approach

Booknews

The authors present a simplified approach to asymptotic techniques for solving problems of mathematics, physics and engineering. They also provide an interplay between the underlying theories of asymptotic analysis and generalized functions. Chapters discuss basic results in asymptotics, theory of distributions, a distributional theory of asymptotic expansions, the asymptotic expansion of multidimensional generalized functions and of certain series considered by Ramanujan, and series of Dirac delta functions.
