What is $$p_*:=\inf\big\{p\in\mathbb R\colon\,\inf_{n\in\mathbb N}n^p\,\inf_{k\in\mathbb N} |2\sqrt{3n}-9\pi/4-k\pi|>0\big\},$$ where $\mathbb N:=\{1,2,\dots\}$? In other words, I would like to ...

A continuous function $L :\mathbb{R}_+ \to \mathbb{R}_+$ is called regularly varying (at infinity) if for all $a > 0$, $$ \lim_{x\to \infty} \frac{L(ax)}{L(x)}= g(a) $$ for some function $g(a)&...

I recently got my hands on a copy of Regular Variation by Bingham, Goldie, and Teugels ("BGT"), and it's been an absolute revelation for my research. The thing is, my current work centers ...

$\newcommand\R{\mathbb R}$Let us say that a function $r\colon\R_+\to\R_+$ is a rate function if $r$ is nondecreasing and $r(x)\to\infty$ as $x\to\infty$. Let us say that a family $(r_j)_{j\in J}$ of ...
