Abstract

We present various techniques for the asymptotic expansions of generalized functions. We show that the moment asymptotic expansions hold for a very wide variety of kernels such as generalized functions of rapid decay and rapid oscillations. We do not use Mellin transform techniques as done by previous authors in the field. Instead, we introduce a direct approach that not only solves the one-dimensional problems but also applies to various multidimensional integrals and oscillatory kernels as well. This approach also helps in the development of various asymptotic series arising in diverse fields of mathematics and physics. We find that the asymptotic expansions of generalized functions depend on the selection of suitable spaces of test functions. Accordingly, we have exercised special care in classifying the spaces and the distributions defined on them. Furthermore, we use the theory of topological tensor products to obtain the expansions of vector-valued distributions. We present several examples to illustrate that many classical results follow in a simple manner. For instance, we derive from our results the asymptotic expansions of certain series considered by Ramanujan.
渐近展开式的一个分布理论
给出了广义函数渐近展开式的各种技术。我们证明了矩渐近展开式适用于非常广泛的核,如快速衰减和快速振荡的广义函数。我们没有像以前的作者那样使用梅林变换技术。相反,我们引入了一种直接的方法,它不仅解决了一维问题,而且也适用于各种多维积分和振荡核。这种方法也有助于在数学和物理的各个领域中出现的各种渐近级数的发展。我们发现广义函数的渐近展开式依赖于测试函数的合适空间的选择。因此,我们特别注意对空间和在空间上定义的分布进行分类。此外,我们利用拓扑张量积理论得到了向量值分布的展开式。我们举几个例子来说明,许多经典的结果遵循一个简单的方式。例如,我们从我们的结果中导出了拉马努金所考虑的某些级数的渐近展开式。
