AsymptoticProduct

AsymptoticProduct[f,x,xx0]

computes an asymptotic approximation of the indefinite product for x near x0.

AsymptoticProduct[f,{x,a,b},αα0]

computes an asymptotic approximation of the definite product for α near α0.

AsymptoticProduct[f,…,{ξ,ξ0,n}]

computes the asymptotic approximation to order n.

Details and Options

  • AsymptoticProduct is typically used to compute products for which no exact result can be found or to get simpler answers for computation, comparison and interpretation. In such cases, an asymptotic approximation often gives enough information for simplifying or solving application problems.
  • AsymptoticProduct[f,…,ξξ0] computes the leading term in an asymptotic expansion for the product of f. Use SeriesTermGoal to specify more terms.
  • If the exact result is g[x] and the asymptotic approximation of order n at x0 is gn[x], then AsymptoticLess[g[x]-gn[x],gn[x]-gn-1[x],xx0] or g[x]-gn[x]∈o[gn[x]-gn-1[x]] as xx0.
  • The asymptotic approximation gn[x] is often given as a sum gn[x]αkϕk[x], where {ϕ1[x],…,ϕn[x]} is an asymptotic scale ϕ1[x]≻ϕ2[x]≻⋯>ϕn[x] as xx0. Then AsymptoticLess[g[x]-gn[x],ϕn[x],xx0] or g[x]-gn[x]∈o[ϕn[x]] as xx0.
  • Taylor scale when xx0
    Laurent scale when xx0
    Laurent scale when x±∞
    Puiseux scale when xx0
  • The scales used to express the asymptotic approximation are automatically inferred from the problem and can often include more exotic scales.
  • The center α0 can be any finite or infinite real or complex number.
  • The order n must be a positive integer and specifies order of approximation for the asymptotic expansion. It is not related to polynomial degree.
  • The following options can be given:
  • AccuracyGoalAutomaticdigits of absolute accuracy sought
    Assumptions$Assumptionsassumptions to make about parameters
    GenerateConditionsAutomaticwhether to generate answers that involve conditions on parameters
    GeneratedParametersNonehow to name generated parameters
    MethodAutomaticmethod to use
    PerformanceGoal$PerformanceGoalaspects of performance to optimize
    PrecisionGoalAutomaticdigits of precision sought
    RegularizationNonewhat regularization scheme to use
    SeriesTermGoalAutomaticnumber of terms in the approximation
    WorkingPrecisionAutomaticthe precision used in internal computations
  • With the default setting of Automatic for GenerateConditions, conditions on parameters are typically not returned in the results from AsymptoticProduct. Answers that include conditions on parameters may be obtained by setting GenerateConditions to True.
  • Possible settings for PerformanceGoal include $PerformanceGoal, "Quality" and "Speed". With the "Quality" setting, AsymptoticProduct typically solves more problems or produces simpler results, but it potentially uses more time and memory.
  • With the default setting of Automatic for WorkingPrecision, AccuracyGoal and PrecisionGoal, AsymptoticProduct may return an asymptotic approximation with a lower precision, even if the input has infinite precision.
