Asymptotics for Bailey-type mock theta functions

We compute asymptotic estimates for the Fourier coefficients of two mock theta functions, which come from Bailey pairs derived by Lovejoy and Osburn. To do so, we employ the circle method due to Wright and a modified Tauberian theorem. We encounter cancelation in our estimates for one of the mock theta functions due to the auxiliary function $$\theta _{n,p}$$ θ n , p arising from the splitting of Hickerson and Mortenson. We deal with this by using higher-order asymptotic expansions for the Jacobi theta functions.

Ingularly perturbed equations in critical cases

Singularly perturbed partial differential equations with small parameters with higher derivatives deserve special attention, which often arise in a variety of applied problems and are used in describing mathematical models of diffusion processes, absorption taking into account small diffusion, filtration of liquids in porous media, chemical kinetics, chromatography, heat and mass transfer, hydrodynamics and many other fields. It is necessary to consider the creation of an asymptotic classification of solutions of singularly perturbed equations using a well-known approach to solving the boundary value problem. In this case, the singular problem is understood as the problem of constructing the asymptotics of the solution of the Cauchy problem for a system of ordinary differential equations with a small parameter with a large derivative. The asymptotics of the solution in all cases is based on the last time interval or the construction of a boundary value problem for a system with a weak clot in an asymptotically large time interval. Purpose - to construct and substantiate the asymptotics of solving a singular initial problem for a system of two nonlinear ordinary differential equations with a small parameter; To date, a number of methods have been developed for constructing asymptotic expansions of solutions to various problems. This is the method of boundary functions developed in the works of A.B. Vasilyeva, M.I. Vishik, L.A. Lusternik, V.F. Butuzov; the regularization method of S. A. Lomov, methods of averaging, VKB, splicing of asymptotic decompositions of A.M. Ilyin and others. All the above methods allow us to obtain asymptotic expansions of solutions for wide classes of equations. At the same time, such singularly perturbed problems often arise, to which ready-made methods are not applicable or do not allow to obtain an effective result. Therefore, the development of methods for solving equations remains a very urgent problem. As a result of the study, an algorithm for constructing an asymptotic classification of the initial solution of the problem with a singular perturbation is given, and approaches to estimating the residual term are also shown.

Asymptotic Solutions of a Generalized Starobinski Model: Kinetic Dominance, Slow Roll and Separatrices

We consider a generalized Starobinski inflationary model. We present a method for computing solutions as generalized asymptotic expansions, both in the kinetic dominance stage (psi series solutions) and in the slow roll stage (asymptotic expansions of the separatrix solutions). These asymptotic expansions are derived in the framework of the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism where the Hubble parameter is written as a function of the inflaton field. They are applied to determine the values of the inflaton field when the inflation period starts and ends as well as to estimate the corresponding amount of inflation. As a consequence, they can be used to select the appropriate initial conditions for determining a solution with a previously fixed amount of inflation.

Double-Scale Gevrey Asymptotics for Logarithmic Type Solutions to Singularly Perturbed Linear Initial Value Problems

We examine a family of linear partial differential equations both singularly perturbed in a complex parameter and singular in complex time at the origin. These equations entail forcing terms which combine polynomial and logarithmic type functions in time and that are bounded holomorphic on horizontal strips in one complex space variable. A set of sectorial holomorphic solutions are built up by means of complete and truncated Laplace transforms w.r.t time and parameter and Fourier inverse integral in space. Asymptotic expansions of these solutions relatively to time and parameter are investigated and two distinguished Gevrey type expansions in monomial and logarithmic scales are exhibited.

Optimal design of optical analog solvers of linear systems

In this paper, given a linear system of equations $$\mathbf {A}\, \mathbf {x}= \mathbf {b}$$ A x = b , we are finding locations in the plane to place objects such that sending waves from the source points and gathering them at the receiving points solves that linear system of equations. The ultimate goal is to have a fast physical method for solving linear systems. The issue discussed in this paper is to apply a fast and accurate algorithm to find the optimal locations of the scattering objects. We tackle this issue by using asymptotic expansions for the solution of the underlying partial differential equation. This also yields a potentially faster algorithm than the classical BEM for finding solutions to the Helmholtz equation.
