Asymptotic expansions of integrals

By: Norman BleisteinContributor(s): Richard A, HandelsmanMaterial type: TextTextPublication details: New York: Dover publications, [c1986]Description: 425 pISBN: 9780486650821Subject(s): MathematicsLOC classification: QA311
Contents:
CHAPTER 1. Fundamental Concepts CHAPTER 2. Asymptotic Expansions of Integrals: Preliminary Discussion CHAPTER 3. Integration by Parts CHAPTER 4. h-transforms with Kernels of Monotonic Argument CHAPTER 5. h-Transforms with Kernals of Nonmonotonic Argument CHAPTER 6. h-Transforms with Oscillatory Kernels CHAPTER 7. The Method of Steepest Descents CHAPTER 8. Asymptotic Expansions of Multiple Integrals CHAPTER 9. Uniform Asymptotic Expansions
Summary: Asymptotic analysis, that branch of mathematics devoted to the study of the behavior of functions within chosen limits, was once thought of more as a specialized art than a necessary discipline. Now, a solid foundation in the theory and technique of asymptotic expansion of integrals is at the heart of the education of every student concentrating in applied mathematics. It is also an invaluable asset to scientists in many other fields. This excellent introductory text, written by two experts in the field, offers students of applied mathematics — and researchers and workers in other fields — a coherent and systematic presentation of the principles and methods of asymptotic expansions of integrals. Students will find each of the nine chapters useful and easy to comprehend; each begins with elementary material or informal introductions and concludes with an abundant selection of applicable problems and exercises. All that is needed is a basic understanding of calculus, differential equations, and complex variables. --- summary provided by publisher
