Asymptotic theory

Although at the time of its publication (1928) the asymptotic theory of Li6nard was not given serious consideration, about 20 years later it became of importance in the development of the asymptotic theory (see Part IV).

At the Curie point, the Weiss theory predicts that for T > Te, in the absence of an external field, the spin order vanishes completely. Actually there is considerable short-range order just above Te, as has been verified by neutron diffraction experiments (405,675). It is the problem of short-range order that is tackled by the more exact quantum statistics mentioned in connection with equation 94. At very high temperatures (T Te), there is no short-range order, and the experimental curve approaches the Curie-Weiss curve asymptotically. Theory shows that the possibility of short-range ordering lowers the...

No exact theory for protein ultrafiltration is available to test the asymptotic theory against therefore, its validity can only be inferred by how well it correlates data. The test of the data used only one adjustable parameter, the protein dlffusivity. The value calculated for D for BSA systems was compared with that in the literature. For calf serum there are no published diffusion data, and internal consistancy of results was the primary criterion for success. A patterned ear h program was used to find the least value of the sum Z[(P - several sets of... 

Before we turn to other topics, it is worth considering the physical events that lead to separation. There are two plausible ways to explain the phenomenon. A common feature of these two mechanisms is that viscous effects play a critical role. Experimentally, we find that separation (or at least the downstream recirculating wake that we associate with separation) usually occurs for Reynolds numbers larger than some critical value, and we infer from this that separation is basically a large-Reynolds-number phenomenon. Indeed, this point of view is consistent with the fact that separation can be predicted by boundary-layer theory, which is an asymptotic theory for Re -> oo. In spite of this, separation is a phenomenon that we can explain only by considering the consequences of viscous contributions to the motion of the fluid. 

Sometimes, the distribution of the statistic must be derived under asymptotic or best case conditions, which assume an infinite number of observations, like the sampling distribution for a regression parameter which assumes a normal distribution. However, the asymptotic assumption of normality is not always valid. Further, sometimes the distribution of the statistic may not be known at all. For example, what is the sampling distribution for the ratio of the largest to smallest value in some distribution Parametric theory is not entirely forthcoming with an answer. The bootstrap and jackknife, which are two types of computer intensive analysis methods, could be used to assess the precision of a sample-derived statistic when its sampling distribution is unknown or when asymptotic theory may not be appropriate. 

Focusing on the case of two hexagonal layers (i.e., a basal plane and one overlayer of sites), all sites in such a configuration are of valency u = 4, as noted previously. This valency is the same as for a one-layer, square-planar lattice. Accordingly, the asymptotic theory of Montroll, and den Hollendar and Kasteleyn can be used to compute values of (n) corresponding to the...
