Limits and asymptotics of power functions at +∞
#
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
This file contains results about the limiting behaviour of power functions at +∞
. For convenience
some results on asymptotics as x → 0
(those which are not just continuity statements) are also
located here.
Limits at +∞
#
The function x ^ y
tends to +∞
at +∞
for any positive real y
.
The function x ^ (-y)
tends to 0
at +∞
for any positive real y
.
The function x ^ (a / (b * x + c))
tends to 1
at +∞
, for any real numbers a
, b
, and
c
such that b
is nonzero.
The function x ^ (1 / x)
tends to 1
at +∞
.
The function x ^ (-1 / x)
tends to 1
at +∞
.
The function exp(x) / x ^ s
tends to +∞
at +∞
, for any real number s
.
The function exp (b * x) / x ^ s
tends to +∞
at +∞
, for any real s
and b > 0
.
The function x ^ s * exp (-b * x)
tends to 0
at +∞
, for any real s
and b > 0
.
