Hadamard Expansions and Hyperasymptotic Evaluation R. B. Paris (University of Abertay, Dundee)

Hadamard Expansions and Hyperasymptotic Evaluation By R. B. Paris (University of Abertay, Dundee)

Hadamard Expansions and Hyperasymptotic Evaluation by R. B. Paris (University of Abertay, Dundee)


Summary

For applied mathematicians and physical scientists interested in asymptotic calculations, this book describes a brand new method for the high-precision evaluation of Laplace integrals. Developed over the past decade, this method builds on the classical asymptotic method of steepest descents. Many numerical examples are included to illustrate the accuracy achievable.

Hadamard Expansions and Hyperasymptotic Evaluation Summary

Hadamard Expansions and Hyperasymptotic Evaluation: An Extension of the Method of Steepest Descents by R. B. Paris (University of Abertay, Dundee)

The author describes the recently developed theory of Hadamard expansions applied to the high-precision (hyperasymptotic) evaluation of Laplace and Laplace-type integrals. This brand new method builds on the well-known asymptotic method of steepest descents, of which the opening chapter gives a detailed account illustrated by a series of examples of increasing complexity. A discussion of uniformity problems associated with various coalescence phenomena, the Stokes phenomenon and hyperasymptotics of Laplace-type integrals follows. The remaining chapters deal with the Hadamard expansion of Laplace integrals, with and without saddle points. Problems of different types of saddle coalescence are also discussed. The text is illustrated with many numerical examples, which help the reader to understand the level of accuracy achievable. The author also considers applications to some important special functions. This book is ideal for graduate students and researchers working in asymptotics.

Hadamard Expansions and Hyperasymptotic Evaluation Reviews

"The book is very carefully typeset with numerous high-quality figures and numerical tables that are very helpful for following the argument for assessing the derivation, usage and accuracy of these expansions." Gabriel Alvarez, Mathematical Reviews
