  • Definite Integrals in an Asymptotic Setting
    A Lost Theorem: Definite Integrals in An Asymptotic Setting Ray Cavalcante and Todor D. Todorov 1 INTRODUCTION We present a simple yet rigorous theory of integration that is based on two axioms rather than on a construction involving Riemann sums. With several examples we demonstrate how to set up integrals in applications of calculus without using Riemann sums. In our axiomatic approach even the proof of the existence of the definite integral (which does use Riemann sums) becomes slightly more elegant than the conventional one. We also discuss an interesting connection between our approach and the history of calculus. The article is written for readers who teach calculus and its applications. It might be accessible to students under a teacher’s supervision and suitable for senior projects on calculus, real analysis, or history of mathematics. Here is a summary of our approach. Let ρ :[a, b] → R be a continuous function and let I :[a, b] × [a, b] → R be the corresponding integral function, defined by y I(x, y)= ρ(t)dt. x Recall that I(x, y) has the following two properties: (A) Additivity: I(x, y)+I (y, z)=I (x, z) for all x, y, z ∈ [a, b]. (B) Asymptotic Property: I(x, x + h)=ρ (x)h + o(h)ash → 0 for all x ∈ [a, b], in the sense that I(x, x + h) − ρ(x)h lim =0. h→0 h In this article we show that properties (A) and (B) are characteristic of the definite integral. More precisely, we show that for a given continuous ρ :[a, b] → R, there is no more than one function I :[a, b]×[a, b] → R with properties (A) and (B).

  • An Introduction to Matched Asymptotic Expansions (A Draft)
    An Introduction to Matched Asymptotic Expansions (A Draft) Peicheng Zhu Basque Center for Applied Mathematics and Ikerbasque Foundation for Science Nov., 2009 Preface The Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM) is a newly founded institute which is one of the Basque Excellence Research Centers (BERC). BCAM hosts a series of training courses on advanced aspects of applied and computational mathematics that are delivered, in English, mainly to graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, who are in or from out of BCAM. The series starts in October 2009 and finishes in June 2010. Each of the 13 courses is taught in one week, and has duration of 10 hours. This is the lecture notes of the course on Asymptotic Analysis that I gave at BCAM from Nov. 9 to Nov. 13, 2009, as the second of this series of BCAM courses. Here I have added some preliminary materials. In this course, we introduce some basic ideas in the theory of asymptotic analysis. Asymptotic analysis is an important branch of applied mathematics and has a broad range of contents. Thus due to the time limitation, I concentrate mainly on the method of matched asymptotic expansions. Firstly some simple examples, ranging from algebraic equations to partial differential equations, are discussed to give the reader a picture of the method of asymptotic expansions. Then we end with an application of this method to an optimal control problem, which is concerned with vanishing viscosity method and alternating descent method for optimal control of scalar conservation laws in presence of non-interacting shocks. Thanks go to the active listeners for their questions and discussions, from which I have learnt many things.

  • Analytic Combinatorics ECCO 2012, Bogot´A
    Lecture: H´el`ene Barcelo Analytic Combinatorics ECCO 2012, Bogot´a Notes by Zvi Rosen. Thanks to Alyssa Palfreyman for supplements. 1. Tuesday, June 12, 2012 Combinatorics is the study of finite structures that combine via a finite set of rules. Alge- braic combinatorics uses algebraic methods to help you solve counting problems. Often algebraic problems are aided by combinatorial tools; combinatorics thus becomes quite interdisciplinary. Analytic combinatorics uses methods from mathematical analysis, like complex and asymptotic analysis, to analyze a class of objects. Instead of counting, we can get a sense for their rate of growth. Source: Analytic Combinatorics, free online at http://algo.inria.fr/flajolet/Publications/ book.pdf. Goal 1.1. Use methods from complex and asymptotic analysis to study qualitative properties of finite structures. Example 1.2. Let S be a set of objects labeled by integers f1; : : : ; ng; how many ways can they form a line? Answer: n!. How fast does this quantity grow? How can we formalize this notion of quickness of growth? We take a set of functions that we will use as yardsticks, e.g. line, exponential, etc.; we will see what function approximates our sequence. Stirling's formula tells us: nn p n! ∼ 2πn: e a where an ∼ bn implies that limn!1 b ! 1. This formula could only arrive via analysis; indeed Stirling's formula appeared in the decades after Newton & Leibniz. Almost instantly, we know that (100)! has 158 digits. Similarly, (1000)! has 102568 digits. Example 1.3. Let an alternating permutation σ 2 Sn be a permutation such that σ(1) < σ(2) > σ(3) < σ(4) > ··· > σ(n); by definition, n must be odd.

This allows us to come up with an \ordering" of functions, such that one function is definitely bigger than another, in order to compare two functions. We do this by considering the value of the functions as n goes to infinity, so for very large values of n, as opposed to small values of n that may be easy to calculate. Once we have this ordering, we can introduce some terminology to describe the relationship of two functions. 9-1 9-2 Lecture 9: November 8, 2018 Growth of Functions nn 4096 n! 2048 1024 512 2n 256 128 n2 64 32 n log(n) 16 n 8 p 4 n log(n) 2 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 From this chart, we see: p 1 log n n n n log(n) n2 2n n! nn (9.1) Complexity Terminology Θ(1) Constant Θ(log n) Logarithmic Θ(n) Linear Θ(n log n) Linearithmic Θ nb Polynomial Θ(bn) (where b > 1) Exponential Θ(n!)

  • Asymptotic Expansions of the Prime Counting Function (final Version)
    Asymptotic expansions of the prime counting function (final version) Jesse Elliott California State University, Channel Islands [email protected] August 19, 2021 Abstract We provide several asymptotic expansions of the prime counting function π(x) and related functions. We define an asymptotic continued fraction expansion of a complex-valued function of a real or complex variable to be a possibly divergent continued fraction whose approximants provide an asymptotic expansion of the given function. We show that, for each positive inte- ger n, two well-known continued fraction expansions of the exponential integral function En(z) correspondingly yield two asymptotic continued fraction expansions of π(x)=x. We prove this by first establishing some general results about asymptotic continued fraction expansions. We show, for instance, that the \best" rational function approximations of a function possessing an asymptotic Jacobi continued fraction expansion are precisely the approximants of the continued fraction, and as a corollary we determine all of the best rational function approximations of the function π(ex)=ex. Finally, we generalize our results on π(x) to any arithmetic semigroup satisfying Axiom A, and thus to any number field. Keywords: prime counting function, prime number theorem, logarithmic integral, exponential integral, asymptotic expansion, continued fraction, Stieltjes transform, number field, arithmetic semigroup.
