| Apr 5, 2017 at 20:07 | comment | added | Toby Bartels | I'm still using ‘asymptotic’ at the nLab page on uniform convergence spaces, so I guess that I'd better accept this answer. | |
| Jul 4, 2013 at 13:33 | comment | added | Toby Bartels | I still hold out hope that there might be a better answer? | |
| Jul 1, 2013 at 15:42 | comment | added | Toby Bartels | True, that does fit what I want. | |
| Jul 1, 2013 at 1:31 | comment | added | Bjørn Kjos-Hanssen | I was thinking in terms of asymptotes in calculus. Y=1/x has y=0 as asymptote but not y=1. | |
| Jul 1, 2013 at 0:27 | comment | added | Toby Bartels | My understanding of the accepted meaning of ‘asymptotic’ would also allow one to say that $n - 1$ and $n + 1$ are mutually aysmptotic (which I take to mean that each is asymptotic to the other), but these don't meet my requirement. That is why I'm searching for another term. | |
