Research Interests: Recently,
there has been a surge of practical and theoretical interest on the
part of mathematical physicists, classical analysts and abstract analysts
in the subject of exponential asymptotics, or hyperasymptotics, by
which is meant asymptotic approximations in which the error terms
are relatively exponentially small. Current work in this area by Olver
and his co-workers include comprehensive and readily-applicable theories
of exponentially-improved asymptotic expansions of solutions of differential
and difference equations.
