Details and Options

  • Asymptotic approximations to difference equations are also known as asymptotic expansions, perturbation solutions, regular perturbations, etc. They are also known by specific methods used to compute some of them, such as Taylor series and Frobenius series.
  • Asymptotic approximations are typically used to solve problems for which no exact solution can be found or to get simpler answers for computation, comparison and interpretation.
  • AsymptoticRSolveValue[eqn,…,xx0] computes the leading term in an asymptotic expansion for eqn. Use SeriesTermGoal to specify more terms.
  • If the exact result is g[x] and the asymptotic approximation of order n at x0 is gn[x], then the result is AsymptoticLess[g[x]-gn[x],gn[x]-gn-1[x],xx0] or g[x]-gn[x]∈o[gn[x]-gn-1[x]] as xx0.
  • The asymptotic approximation gn[x] is often given as a sum gn[x]αkϕk[x], where {ϕ1[x],…,ϕn[x]} is an asymptotic scale ϕ1[x]≻ϕ2[x]≻⋯>ϕn[x] as xx0. Then the result is AsymptoticLess[g[x]-gn[x],ϕn[x],xx0] or g[x]-gn[x]∈o[ϕn[x]] as xx0.
  • Common asymptotic scales include:
  • Taylor scale when xx0
    Laurent scale when xx0
    Laurent scale when x±∞
    Puiseux scale when xx0
  • The scales used to express the asymptotic approximation are automatically inferred from the problem and can often include more exotic scales.
  • The center x0 can be any finite or infinite real or complex number.
  • The order n must be a positive integer and specifies order of approximation for the asymptotic solution. It is not related to polynomial degree.
  • The specification f∈Vectors[n] or f∈Matrices[{m,n}] can be used to indicate that the dependent variable f is a vector-valued or a matrix-valued variable, respectively. » »
  • The following options can be given:
  • AccuracyGoalAutomaticdigits of absolute accuracy sought
    Assumptions$Assumptionsassumptions to make about parameters
    GenerateConditionsAutomaticwhether to generate answers that involve conditions on parameters
    GeneratedParameters Nonehow to name generated parameters
    MethodAutomaticmethod to use
    PerformanceGoal$PerformanceGoalaspects of performance to optimize
    PrecisionGoalAutomaticdigits of precision sought
    SeriesTermGoalAutomaticnumber of terms in the approximation
    WorkingPrecisionAutomaticthe precision used in internal computations
  • Possible settings for PerformanceGoal include $PerformanceGoal, "Quality" and "Speed". With the "Quality" setting, AsymptoticRSolveValue typically solves more problems or produces simpler results, but it potentially uses more time and memory.
