Nachbin Resummation
In mathematics, in the area of complex analysis, Nachbin's theorem (named after Leopoldo Nachbin) is commonly used to establish a bound on the growth rates for an analytic function. This article provides a brief review of growth rates, including the idea of a function of exponential type. Classification of growth rates based on type help provide a finer tool than big O or Landau notation, since a number of theorems about the analytic structure of the bounded function and its integral transforms can be stated. In particular, Nachbin's theorem may be used to give the domain of convergence of the generalized Borel transform, given below. Exponential type A function ''f''(''z'') defined on the complex plane is said to be of exponential type if there exist constants ''M'' and α such that :, f(re^), \le Me^ in the limit of r\to\infty. Here, the complex variable ''z'' was written as z=re^ to emphasize that the limit must hold in all directions θ. Letting α stand for the infimu ...

Mathematics
Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline. Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature orin modern mathematicsentities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. A ''proof'' consists of a succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, andin case of abstraction from naturesome basic properties that are considered true starting points of ...

Borel Summation
In mathematics, Borel summation is a summation method for divergent series, introduced by . It is particularly useful for summing divergent asymptotic series, and in some sense gives the best possible sum for such series. There are several variations of this method that are also called Borel summation, and a generalization of it called Mittag-Leffler summation. Definition There are (at least) three slightly different methods called Borel summation. They differ in which series they can sum, but are consistent, meaning that if two of the methods sum the same series they give the same answer. Throughout let denote a formal power series :A(z) = \sum_^\infty a_kz^k, and define the Borel transform of to be its equivalent exponential series :\mathcalA(t) \equiv \sum_^\infty \fract^k. Borel's exponential summation method Let denote the partial sum :A_n(z) = \sum_^n a_k z^k. A weak form of Borel's summation method defines the Borel sum of to be : \lim_ e^\sum_^\infty \frac ...

Abelian And Tauberian Theorems
In mathematics, Abelian and Tauberian theorems are theorems giving conditions for two methods of summing divergent series to give the same result, named after Niels Henrik Abel and Alfred Tauber. The original examples are Abel's theorem showing that if a series converges to some limit then its Abel sum is the same limit, and Tauber's theorem showing that if the Abel sum of a series exists and the coefficients are sufficiently small (o(1/''n'')) then the series converges to the Abel sum. More general Abelian and Tauberian theorems give similar results for more general summation methods. There is not yet a clear distinction between Abelian and Tauberian theorems, and no generally accepted definition of what these terms mean. Often, a theorem is called "Abelian" if it shows that some summation method gives the usual sum for convergent series, and is called "Tauberian" if it gives conditions for a series summable by some method that allows it to be summable in the usual sense.

Phragmén–Lindelöf Principle
In complex analysis, the Phragmén–Lindelöf principle (or method), first formulated by Lars Edvard Phragmén (1863–1937) and Ernst Leonard Lindelöf (1870–1946) in 1908, is a technique which employs an auxiliary, parameterized function to prove the boundedness of a holomorphic function f (i.e, , f(z), Background In the theory of complex functions, it is known that the modulus (absolute value) of a |
Mittag-Leffler Summation
In mathematics, Mittag-Leffler summation is any of several variations of the Borel summation method for summing possibly divergent formal power series, introduced by Definition Let :y(z) = \sum_^\infty y_kz^k be a formal power series in ''z''. Define the transform \scriptstyle \mathcal_\alpha y of \scriptstyle y by :\mathcal_\alpha y(t) \equiv \sum_^\infty \fract^k Then the Mittag-Leffler sum of ''y'' is given by :\lim_\mathcal_\alpha y( z) if each sum converges and the limit exists. A closely related summation method, also called Mittag-Leffler summation, is given as follows . Suppose that the Borel transform \mathcal_1 y(z) converges to an analytic function near 0 that can be analytically continued along the positive real axis to a function growing sufficiently slowly that the following integral is well defined (as an improper integral). Then the Mittag-Leffler sum of ''y'' is given by :\int_0^\infty e^ \mathcal_\alpha y(t^\alpha z) \, dt When ''α'' = 1 this i ...

Lambert Summation
In mathematical analysis, Lambert summation is a summability method for a class of divergent series. Definition A series \sum a_n is ''Lambert summable'' to ''A'', written \sum a_n = A \,(\mathrm), if :\lim_ (1-r) \sum_^\infty \frac = A . If a series is convergent to ''A'' then it is Lambert summable to ''A'' (an Abelian theorem). Examples * \sum_^\infty \frac = 0 \,(\mathrm), where μ is the Möbius function. Hence if this series converges at all, it converges to zero. See also * Lambert series * Abel–Plana formula * Abelian and tauberian theorems In mathematics, Abelian and Tauberian theorems are theorems giving conditions for two methods of summing divergent series to give the same result, named after Niels Henrik Abel and Alfred Tauber.

Cesàro Summation
In mathematical analysis, Cesàro summation (also known as the Cesàro mean ) assigns values to some infinite sums that are not necessarily convergent in the usual sense. The Cesàro sum is defined as the limit, as ''n'' tends to infinity, of the sequence of arithmetic means of the first ''n'' partial sums of the series. This special case of a matrix summability method is named for the Italian analyst Ernesto Cesàro (1859–1906). The term ''summation'' can be misleading, as some statements and proofs regarding Cesàro summation can be said to implicate the Eilenberg–Mazur swindle. For example, it is commonly applied to Grandi's series with the conclusion that the ''sum'' of that series is 1/2. Definition Let (a_n)_^\infty be a sequence, and let :s_k = a_1 + \cdots + a_k= \sum_^k a_n be its th partial sum. The sequence is called Cesàro summable, with Cesàro sum , if, as tends to infinity, the arithmetic mean of its first ''n'' partial sums tends to : :\lim_ \f ...

Euler Summation
In the mathematics of convergent series, convergent and divergent series, Euler summation is a summation method. That is, it is a method for assigning a value to a series, different from the conventional method of taking limits of partial sums. Given a series Σ''a''''n'', if its Euler transform converges to a sum, then that sum is called the Euler sum of the original series. As well as being used to define values for divergent series, Euler summation can be used to speed the convergence of series. Euler summation can be generalized into a family of methods denoted (E, ''q''), where ''q'' ≥ 0. The (E, 1) sum is the ordinary Euler sum. All of these methods are strictly weaker than Borel summation; for ''q'' > 0 they are incomparable with Abel summation. Definition For some value ''y'' we may define the Euler sum (if it converges for that value of ''y'') corresponding to a particular formal summation as: : _\, \sum_^\infty a_j := \sum_^\infty \frac \sum_^i \binom y^ a_j .

Divergent Series
In mathematics, a divergent series is an infinite series that is not convergent, meaning that the infinite sequence of the partial sums of the series does not have a finite limit. If a series converges, the individual terms of the series must approach zero. Thus any series in which the individual terms do not approach zero diverges. However, convergence is a stronger condition: not all series whose terms approach zero converge. A counterexample is the harmonic series :1 + \frac + \frac + \frac + \frac + \cdots =\sum_^\infty\frac. The divergence of the harmonic series was proven by the medieval mathematician Nicole Oresme. In specialized mathematical contexts, values can be objectively assigned to certain series whose sequences of partial sums diverge, in order to make meaning of the divergence of the series. A ''summability method'' or ''summation method'' is a partial function from the set of series to values. For example, Cesàro summation assigns Grandi's divergent ser ...

Norm (mathematics)
In mathematics, a norm is a function from a real or complex vector space to the non-negative real numbers that behaves in certain ways like the distance from the origin: it commutes with scaling, obeys a form of the triangle inequality, and is zero only at the origin. In particular, the Euclidean distance of a vector from the origin is a norm, called the Euclidean norm, or 2-norm, which may also be defined as the square root of the inner product of a vector with itself. A seminorm satisfies the first two properties of a norm, but may be zero for vectors other than the origin. A vector space with a specified norm is called a normed vector space. In a similar manner, a vector space with a seminorm is called a ''seminormed vector space''. The term pseudonorm has been used for several related meanings. It may be a synonym of "seminorm". A pseudonorm may satisfy the same axioms as a norm, with the equality replaced by an inequality "\,\leq\," in the homogeneity axiom. It can also re ...

Topological Space
In mathematics, a topological space is, roughly speaking, a geometrical space in which closeness is defined but cannot necessarily be measured by a numeric distance. More specifically, a topological space is a set whose elements are called points, along with an additional structure called a topology, which can be defined as a set of neighbourhoods for each point that satisfy some axioms formalizing the concept of closeness. There are several equivalent definitions of a topology, the most commonly used of which is the definition through open sets, which is easier than the others to manipulate. A topological space is the most general type of a mathematical space that allows for the definition of limits, continuity, and connectedness. Common types of topological spaces include Euclidean spaces, metric spaces and manifolds. Although very general, the concept of topological spaces is fundamental, and used in virtually every branch of modern mathematics. The study of topological spac ...

Fréchet Space
In functional analysis and related areas of mathematics, Fréchet spaces, named after Maurice Fréchet, are special topological vector spaces. They are generalizations of Banach spaces (normed vector spaces that are complete with respect to the metric induced by the norm). All Banach and Hilbert spaces are Fréchet spaces. Spaces of infinitely differentiable functions are typical examples of Fréchet spaces, many of which are typically Banach spaces. A Fréchet space X is defined to be a locally convex metrizable topological vector space (TVS) that is complete as a TVS, meaning that every Cauchy sequence in X converges to some point in X (see footnote for more details).Here "Cauchy" means Cauchy with respect to the canonical uniformity that every TVS possess. That is, a sequence x_ = \left(x_m\right)_^ in a TVS X is Cauchy if and only if for all neighborhoods U of the origin in X, x_m - x_n \in U whenever m and n are sufficiently large. Note that this definition of a Cau ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
