期刊漸近分析實現(xiàn)了雙重功能。它的目的一方面是發(fā)表受小或大參數(shù)存在影響的問題的漸近理論的原始數(shù)學(xué)結(jié)果，另一方面是為它們在不同自然科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的可能應(yīng)用提供具體的指示。因此，漸近分析為數(shù)學(xué)家提供了他們在分析漸近問題時可能需要的新獲得信息的集中來源。

The journal Asymptotic Analysis fulfills a twofold function. It aims at publishing original mathematical results in the asymptotic theory of problems affected by the presence of small or large parameters on the one hand, and at giving specific indications of their possible applications to different fields of natural sciences on the other hand. Asymptotic Analysis thus provides mathematicians with a concentrated source of newly acquired information which they may need in the analysis of asymptotic problems.
