asymptotic

• In contrast, in social organizations where growth is driven by superlinear scaling, growth is unbounded, never reaching an "asymptotic" stable state, and proceeding at a rate that is faster than exponential. —  SEEDMAGAZINE.COM
• In practice, one can then analyse the Fourier-analytic behaviour of spherically symmetric functions in terms of one-dimensional Fourier-like integrals by using various asymptotic expansions of the Bessel function. is nothing more than the one-dimensional Fourier coefficient of the function. —  What's new
• But the history of science-by far the most successful claim to knowledge accessible to humans-teaches that the most we can hope for is successive improvement in our understanding, learning from our mistakes, an asymptotic approach to the Universe, but with the proviso that absolute certainty will always elude us. —  Elastic Hrtr™ The noises reasonable people make.
• To demonstrate how the spectral action encodes the dynamics of gravity we examine the accuracy of the approximation of the spectral action by its asymptotic expansion in the case of the round three sphere. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
