Asymptotic equivalence is a notion of functions "eventually" becoming "essentially equal".
More precisely, let and
be functions of a real variable. We say that
and
are asymptotically equivalent if the limit
exists and is equal to 1. online sports gambling We sometimes denote this as
.
Let us consider functions of a common domain that are nonzero for sufficiently large arguments. Evidently, sports online betting all such functions are asymptotically equivalent to themselves, and if , then
so
. Finally, it is evident that if
and
, then
. Asymptotic equivalence is thus an equivalence relation in this context.
Examples
The functions and
are asymptotically equivalent, since
On the other hand the functions
and
are not asymptotically equivalent. In general, two real polynomial functions are asymptotically equivalent if and only if they have the same degree and the same leading coeffcient.
