General regular variation, Popa groups and quantifier weakening (Q2287215): Difference between revisions

The authors introduce general regular variation, as a limit relationship, which contains the existing Karamata, Bojanic-Karamata/de Haan and Beurling theories as special cases; see also [\textit{N. H. Bingham} et al., Regular variation. Paperback ed. (English) Cambridge etc.: Cambridge University Press (1989; Zbl 0667.26003)]. To achieve their aim, they use a unified approach based on the algebraicization provided by the Popa groups. A Popa group is a locally compact abelian ordered topological group equipped with its Haar measure and Fourier theory.
