Singularity Barriers and Borel Plane Analytic Properties of 1 Difference Equations

چکیده
The paper addresses generalized Borel summability of “1+” difference equations in “critical time”. We show that the Borel transform Y of a prototypical such equation is analytic and exponentially bounded for <(p) < 1 but there is no analytic continuation from 0 toward +∞: the vertical line ` := {p : <(p) = 1} is a singularity barrier of Y . There is a unique natural continuation through the barrier, based on the Borel equation dual to the difference equation, and the functions thus obtained are analytic and decaying on the other side of the barrier. In this sense, the Borel transforms are analytic and well behaved in C \ `. The continuation provided allows for generalized Borel summation of the formal solutions. It differs from standard “pseudocontinuation” [9]. This stresses the importance of the notion of cohesivity, a comprehensive extension of analyticity introduced and thoroughly analyzed by Écalle. We also discuss how, in some cases, Écalle acceleration can provide a procedure of natural continuation beyond a singularity barrier.

Exponential Asymptotics, Trans-series and Generalized Borel Summation for Analytic Nonlinear Rank One Systems of Ode's
For analytic nonlinear systems of ordinary diierential equations, under some non-degeneracy and integrability conditions we prove that the formal exponential series solutions (trans-series) at an irregular singularity of rank one are Borel summable (in a sense similar to that of Ecalle). The functions obtained by re-summation of the trans-series are precisely the solutions of the diierential eq...

We analyze the detailed time dependence of the wave function ψ(x, t) for one dimensional Hamiltonians H = −∂ x + V (x) where V (for example modeling barriers or wells) and ψ(x, 0) are compactly supported. We show that the dispersive part of ψ(x, t), its asymptotic series in powers of t−1/2, is Borel summable. The remainder, the difference between ψ and the Borel sum, is a convergent expansion o...

We obtain inverse factorial-series solutions of second-order linear difference equations with a singularity of rank one at infinity. It is shown that the Borel plane of these series is relatively simple, and that in certain cases the asymptotic expansions incorporate simple resurgence properties. Two examples are included. The second example is the large a asymptotics of the hypergeometric func...
متن کاملTopological Expansion and Exponential Asymptotics in 1D Quantum Mechanics
Borel summable semiclassical expansions in 1D quantum mechanics are considered. These are the Borel summable expansions of fundamental solutions and of quantities constructed with their help. An expansion, called topological, is constructed for the corresponding Borel functions. Its main property is to order the singularity structure of the Borel plane in a hierarchical way by an increasing com...
