Extended abstract presented at the conference FPSAC 2016, Vancouver. International audience In the 1970s, Tutte developed a clever algebraic approach, based on certain " invariants " , to solve a functional equation that arises in the enumeration of properly colored triangulations. The enumeration of plane lattice walks confined to the first quadrant is governed by similar equations, and has led in the past decade to a rich collection of attractive results dealing with the nature (algebraic, D-finite or not) of the associated generating function, depending on the set of allowed steps. We first adapt Tutte's approach to prove (or reprove) the algebraicity of all quadrant models known or conjectured to be algebraic (with one small exception). This includes Gessel's famous model, and the first proof ever found for one model with weighted steps. To be applicable, the method requires the existence of two rational functions called invariant and decoupling function respectively. When they exist, algebraicity comes out (almost) automatically. Then, we move to an analytic viewpoint which has already proved very powerful, leading in particular to integral expressions of the generating function in the non-D-finite cases, as well as to proofs of non-D-finiteness. We develop in this context a weaker notion of invariant. Now all quadrant models have invariants, and for those that have in addition a decoupling function, we obtain integral-free expressions of the generating function, and a proof that this series is differentially algebraic (that is, satisfies a non-linear differential equation).

AbstractWe study the asymptotic behavior of eventually positive solutions of the second-order half-linear differential equation(p(t)\lvert x^{\prime}\rvert^{\alpha}\operatorname{sgn}x^{\prime})^{\prime}+q(% t)\lvert x\rvert^{\alpha}\operatorname{sgn}x=0,where q is a continuous function which may take both positive and negative values in any neighborhood of infinity and p is a positive continuous function satisfying one of the conditions\int_{a}^{\infty}\frac{ds}{p(s)^{1/\alpha}}=\infty\quad\text{or}\quad\int_{a}^% {\infty}\frac{ds}{p(s)^{1/\alpha}}<\infty.The asymptotic formulas for generalized regularly varying solutions are established using the Karamata theory of regular variation.

AbstractSteady plane flow under gravity of a symmetric ice sheet resting on a horizontal rigid bed, subject to surface accumulation and ablation, basal drainage, and basal sliding according to a shear-traction-velocity power law, is treated. The surface accumulation is taken to depend on height, and the drainage and sliding coefficient also depend on the height of overlying ice. The ice is described as a general non-linearly viscous incompressible fluid, with illustrations presented for Glen’s power law, the polynomial law of Colbeck and Evans, and a Newtonian fluid. Uniform temperature is assumed so that effects of a realistic temperature distribution on the ice response are not taken into account. In dimensionless variables a small paramter ν occurs, but the ν = 0 solution corresponds to an unbounded sheet of uniform depth. To obtain a bounded sheet, a horizontal coordinate scaling by a small factor ε(ν) is required, so that the aspect ratio ε of a steady ice sheet is determined by the ice properties, accumulation magnitude, and the magnitude of the central thickness. A perturbation expansion in ε gives simple leading-order terms for the stress and velocity components, and generates a first order non-linear differential equation for the free-surface slope, which is then integrated to determine the profile. The non-linear differential equation can be solved explicitly for a linear sliding law in the Newtonian case. For the general law it is shown that the leading-order approximation is valid both at the margin and in the central zone provided that the power and coefficient in the sliding law satisfy certain restrictions.

SynopsisIn an earlier paper [6] we showed that if q ϵ CN[0, ε) for some ε > 0, then the Titchmarsh–Weyl m(λ) function associated with the second order linear differential equationhas the asymptotic expansionas |A| →∞ in a sector of the form 0 < δ < arg λ < π – δ.We show that if the real valued function q admits the expansionin a neighbourhood of 0, then
