Abstract

Existing methods of series analysis are largely designed to analyse the structure of algebraic singularities. Functions with such singularities have their nth coefficient behaving asymptotically as A ⋅ μn ⋅ ng. Recently, a number of problems in statistical mechanics and combinatorics have been encountered in which the coefficients behave asymptotically as B ⋅ μn ⋅ μ1nσ ⋅ ng, where typically σ= (1)/(2) or (1)/(3). Identifying this behaviour, and then extracting estimates for the critical parameters B, μ, μ1, σ, \rm and g presents a significant numerical challenge. We describe methods developed to meet this challenge.
