The problem of differentiating an asymptotic expansion in real powers. II: Factorizational theory (Q653793)

In continuation of his papers [ibid. 33, No. 3, 161--198 (2007; Zbl 1174.41005); ibid. 36, No. 2, 85--112 (2010; Zbl 1224.41100)], the author studies the termwise differentiation of equations of the form \(f(x)=a_1x^{\alpha_1}+\dots+a_nx^{\alpha _n}+O(x^{\gamma})\) as \(x\to \infty\) with \(\alpha _1>\alpha _2>\ldots > \alpha _n > \gamma, n \geq 2\), under different conditions. The main tools for the proofs are factorizations of the Euler differential operator with the kernel span\((x^{\alpha _1},\dots,x^{\alpha _n})\), and integral representations for \(f(x)\) using this operator. Analogous investigations are carried out with \(o\) instead of \(O\) (and with \(\gamma = \alpha _n\)). The results are strengthened in the case of generalized convex functions.
