Borel-Laplace Transform and Asymptotic Theory Introduction to Resurgent Analysis

288 Pages
by CRC Press

The resurgent function theory introduced by J. Ecalle is one of the most interesting theories in mathematical analysis. In essence, the theory provides a resummation method for divergent power series (e.g., asymptotic series), and allows this method to be applied to mathematical problems. This new book introduces the methods and ideas inherent in resurgent analysis. The discussions are clear and... Read more
