Higher order asymptotics from multivariate generating functions

Student-Run Discrete Math Seminar

Speaker: Mark Wilson, University of Auckland
Location: 3106 MSB
Start time: Thu, Dec 3 2009, 1:10PM

For the past decade I have been working on a project with Robin Pemantle to systematize coefficient extraction from multivariate generating functions. I will give a sketchy overview of results so far and then concentrate on recent work on higher order terms. Emphasis is placed on concrete computation and interesting examples.
