Topological regular variation. I: Slow variation (Q989081)

The authors extend and unify the multivariate regular variation literature by a reformulation in the language of topological dynamics. They use metric groups and study convergence and divergence of self-homeomorphisms in a normed topological group. The authors define a general form of slow variation on a metric space \(S\) that includes and extends most of the classical slow variation definitions and they provide conditions under which the defining property holds uniformly in compact subsets of \(S\).
