About this book
This book presents the theory of asymptotic integration for both linear differential and difference equations. This type of asymptotic analysis is based on some fundamental principles by Norman Levinson. While he applied them to a special class of differential equations, subsequent work has shown that the same principles lead to asymptotic results for much wider classes of differential and also difference equations.
After discussing asymptotic integration in a unified approach, this book studies how the application of these methods provides several new insights and frequent improvements to results found in earlier literature. It then continues with a brief introduction to the relatively new field of asymptotic integration for dynamic equations on time scales.
Asymptotic Integration of Differential and Difference Equations is a self-contained and clearly structured presentation of some of the most important results in asymptotic integration and the techniques usedin this field. It will appeal to researchers in asymptotic integration as well to non-experts who are interested in the asymptotic analysis of linear differential and difference equations. It will additionally be of interest to students in mathematics, applied sciences, and engineering. Linear algebra and some basic concepts from advanced calculus are prerequisites.
Reviews
“This very readable book gives a nice presentation of the theory of asymptotic integration for both linear differential and linear difference equations … . The book provides a very deep insight into the theory of asymptotic integrations of linear differential and difference equations. Excellently written, it has a place in the bookcase of every mathematician, engineer or student, and is also of value for non-experts interested in the rudiments and applications of this theory.” (Josef Diblík, Mathematical Reviews, May, 2016)
“This book is a self-contained and clearly structured presentation of important results in asymptotic integration and the techniques which are used in this field. I have really enjoyed reading it. This text appeals to (non-)experts who are interested in asymptotic behavior of solutions to differential and differenceequations. It can be of interest to students in mathematics, applied sciences, and engineering. For anyone who works in asymptotic integration, this monograph is a must.” (Pavel Rehak, zbMATH 1331.34001, 2016)
