Re: Getting an asymptotic form for a GF.

Hmmm, I could not numerically integrate a function involving complex numbers.

Re: Getting an asymptotic form for a GF.

Hi gAr;

I think you can in two ways.

1) Sage, Maxima and Wolfram can.

2) Any Newton-Coates formula is just a plug in, so complex numbers are no problem. Remember the answer was in complex form.

Re: Getting an asymptotic form for a GF.

Hi bobbym,

I still can't do it. Sage demands a real number.

Re: Getting an asymptotic form for a GF.

Hi gAr;

Okay, it isn't my preferred way of doing it either. Just interesting to see it work.

Re: Getting an asymptotic form for a GF.

Hi bobbym,

Okay.
Did it work for large coefficients?

Re: Getting an asymptotic form for a GF.

Hi gAr;

Yes, but then it becomes a difficult numerical problem.

Was the method I showed in the first post clear enough? Any CAS should be able to do that.

Re: Getting an asymptotic form for a GF.

Hi bobbym,

Yes, the integral is good!
But I'm not very clear how it got converted to that.

Re: Getting an asymptotic form for a GF.

Oh heck, do not worry about that. That is a big mystery to me. How could an integral with complex values zero in on one single coefficient?

Re: Getting an asymptotic form for a GF.

Yes, a mystery!

That asymptotic form is also mysterious to me.
Can we directly expand about 0 and fit a polynomial?

Re: Getting an asymptotic form for a GF.

Hi;

If you expand g(x) around 0 you will have a polynomial, the Taylor polynomial. Trying to truncate that by fitting a smaller polynomial should not work.

In A eq B there is theorem that says the principal part of the Laurents series expansion of g(x) is a good approximation of the coefficients of g(x). That is what I used.

You got it! Very good. A book showed me a short cut over what I do but I do not remember what it was.

Okay.
I guess I have left too much of the book last time I read. I don't remember reading the book at all.

Re: Getting an asymptotic form for a GF.

I found it kind of difficult and hard to piece together their algorithms. But it did give me the Hayman method and this method.

Re: Getting an asymptotic form for a GF.

It's kind of frustrating to read such books.
We'll be dilemma whether to try to read again or skip it, whether the later parts depend on that etc.

Re: Getting an asymptotic form for a GF.

Books like that should have more examples, a lot more. Math books should be all examples. I was recently looking through an article where the guy was apologizing for explaining his discoveries by examples! The other guys should be apologizing!
