1. Introduction
In the present study, a family of singularly perturbed linear
q-difference-differential equations of the form
under initial data
is studied. In the previous problem,
acts as a small complex perturbation parameter, and
stands for the dilation operator on
t variable defined by
, for some fixed
. In (
1),
are positive integers,
, and the symbol
is a polynomial in
with holomorphic coefficients on some neighborhood of the origin with respect to the perturbation parameter. The functions
are polynomials with respect to
t variable, with holomorphic coefficients on some neighborhood of the origin in
. It is worth mentioning the irregular nature of the differential operator in both
, and inside
in the form of polynomial operators in
. The precise shape of the main problem and the concrete assumptions considered in it are determined in detail in
Section 2.1.
There is an increasing interest on the study of the asymptotic behavior of the solutions to
difference-differential equations in the complex domain. This is the case of the recent works by H. Tahara [
14], H. Yamazawa [
18] and H. Tahara and H. Yamazawa [
15]; the authors and J. Sanz [
8] and with T. Dreyfus [
3]. A different approach via Nevalinna theory is developped in [
16,
17]. The importance of applications of
q-difference equations in the knowledge of wavelets or tsunami and rogue waves is evidenced in recent advances in the field such as [
12,
13].
In the present work, we construct solutions
of the main problem (
1), (
2) which are bounded holomorphic functions defined on
, where
and
stand for finite sectors of the complex plane with vertex at the origin, and
stands for the open disc of radius
. The main purpose of the present work is to show that the function
shows different asymptotic expansions with respect to the perturbation parameter
when modifying the norm considered in the space of coefficients, the space of holomorphic and bounded functions defined on
. The symmetric situation with respect to
is also considered.
The appearance of such phenomena is due to the existence of small divisors involved in the main equation, in contrast to [
10]. In the seminal work [
10], the second author studies the asymptotic solutions with respect to
of equations of the form
where
,
,
are non-negative integers for
. The functions
for
and
are bounded holomorphic functions on
, for some
.
and
for
are polynomials with complex coefficients. All these elements are subjected to further hypotheses not mentioned here for the sake of simplicity.
In [
10], the technique used to solve asymptotically the problem is to construct the analytic solutions to (
3) in the form of a
Laplace transform of order
k, for some
which depends on the elements of the problem. This causes the absence of two distinguished asymptotic expansions (even when modifying the norm considered for the function spaces involving the variables
) in contrast to the present situation. In that work, no small divisor appear in the main problem under study, all the asymptotic expansions obtained there being of
Gevrey type with respect to
.
The main inspiration of the present study is [
1], where the authors deal with the formal solutions to systems of dimension
of the form
where
are non-negative integers,
is such that
,
, and
is analytic on some neighborhood of the origin in
, with
and
being an invertible matrix. Indeed, the unique formal solution of (
4)
is such that
- (1)
for
, all
converge on some common neighorhood of the origin, whereas
converges on the disc of radius
for some
and there exist
such that for all
one has
- (2)
for
,
and
converge on the disc of radius
and
, respectively, for some
, and there exist
such that for all
one has
Observe in the previous result that the coefficients of the formal solutions might be defined in shrinking neighborhoods of the origin, determining power series which have null radius of convergence.
The procedure followed to solve (
1), (
2) analytically is to search for solutions in the form of a Laplace transform of order
k (see
Section 5) which transforms the main problem into an auxiliary convolution equation, whose analytic solution satisfies appropriate bounds in order to recover an analytic solution to the main equation via Laplace transform (see Proposition 1). Sharp bounds satisfied by the solutions to the auxiliary convolution equation are also available, leading to the construction of a finite family of analytic solutions to (
1), (
2), say
, for some integer
, with
for all
. Here,
stands for a bounded sector in
with vertex at the origin,
D is a neighborhood of the origin, and
is a bounded sector with vertex at the origin belonging to a good covering in
(see Definition 8). Another finite family of analytic solutions to (
1), (
2), say
, for some integer
, is also constructed. For every
, the solution
remains analytic on
, where
is some bounded sector in
with vertex at the origin, and so it is
, which is an element of a good covering in
.
The main results of the present work determine the asymptotic behavior of the two families of analytic solutions from two radically different topological points of view. It is proved in Theorem 3 the existence of a formal power series in the perturbation parameter, with coefficients in some Banach space of functions which asymptotically approaches each of the analytic solutions in
. The asymptotic approximation is measured by means of a
relative-sup-norm. Such norm is defined on a larger set of formal power series in one of their variables with coefficients being holomorphic functions on some shrinking neighborhood of the origin (see Definition 3). Under this measurement, the asymptotic behavior is of Gevrey nature (see (
29)). On the other hand, when incorporating the classical
-sup norm in the asymptotic approximation, then mixed Gevrey and
Gevrey asymptotic expansions emerge, as it is proved in Theorem 4. We recall that previous results in the field have also observed such multiscaled asymptotics, such as [
7]. Theorems 3 and 4 are put forward in a symmetric manner regarding time variable, leading to Gevrey and
q-Gevrey asymptotic relations for the analytic solutions
, in Theorems 5 and 6. The technique used in the preceeding results leans on the application of the classical version of the so-called Ramis-Sibuya theorem (Theorem 7 (RS) in
Section 6) and a
analog of Ramis-Sibuya theorem (Theorem 8 (
RS) in
Section 6).
In brief, the work states different asymptotic expansions with respect to
and
t regarding different sets of analytic solutions to the main problem under study (
1), (
2): one of Gevrey order
and another of mixed type Gevrey and
Gevrey, when modifying the norm set on the space of coefficients of the formal solution. In addition to this, Gevrey order expansions of order
have been observed in both variables
t and
by setting appropriate norms on the spaces of holomorphic functions involved.
The paper is structured as follows.
Section 2.1 is devoted to precise the main problem under study. In the next subsections, we provide different families of analytic solutions (Theorems 1 and 2) by fixing concise geometries in the problem. The first main results on the asymptotic behavior of the previous families of analytic solutions are stated in
Section 3 (Theorems 3 and 4) by determining different norms in the space of coefficients of the formal solution. Symmetric results regarding the time variable (Theorems 5 and 6) are stated in
Section 4. The work concludes with two annex which complete known facts about Laplace transform and its main properties and several versions of Ramis-Sibuya type theorems, appealed in the paper.

3. Asymptotic Behavior of the Analytic Solutions, I
In this section, we provide two results regarding the asymptotic expansions of the previous analytic solutions determined in Theorem 1 with respect to the perturbation parameter regarding each of the elements in a good covering , for some fixed . The main first result of the present work determines classical Gevrey asymptotic expansions by introducing relative-sup-norms on the partial functions , constructed in Theorem 1, for each fixed , and all , whereas the second result deals with uniform sup-norms on the partial functions .

it is direct to check that
H is an element of

H being the limit of
in such space. □
From now on, we resume the assumptions and constructions related to the main problem (
8), (
9) in
Section 2.1. In addition to this, we consider
and an admissible set
with respect to a given good covering
(in the sense of Definition 1). Theorem 1 guarantees the existence of a finite family of solutions
to (
8), (
9), for

Finally, we consider
Regarding statement b. in Proposition 1 and the parametrization

This entails
Collecting the information in (
25), (
26) and (
28), one arrives at

Proposition 3 guarantees that Theorem 7 (RS) (see
Section 6) can be applied when considering the next Banach space of functions.
Theorem 3.
Under the assumptions of Theorem 1, there exists a formal power series satisfying that there exist such that for all one has

Proof. For all , consider the function constructed in Theorem 1, and define the map by for , which is viewed as a function with values in the Banach space . Observe that one can apply Theorem 7 (RS) in view of Proposition 3, in order to achieve the existence of with the required properties. □
In the second part of this section we provide a different asymptotic expansion with respect to the perturbation parameter, under the action of a different norm compared to that in the first part. The main result of this section guarantees
q-Gevrey asymptotic expansions relating the formal and the analytic solutions by incorporating the classical
-sup norm as follows. The procedure rests on the approach in [
11].
Definition 4.

where for every .
Let be a real number.
We denote by the vector space of formal power series of the form , where for every , such that the sup-norm of h, defined by

The proof of the next result is analogous to that of Proposition 2, so it is omitted.
Proposition 4. The pair is a complex Banach space. The vector space is contained in provided that .
Remark: Observe that for all . Furthermore, for all and we have the next inequality for all .
In this section, we resume the assumptions and constructions associated to (
8), (
9) of
Section 2.1. We also fix a good covering
for some
, and an admissible set (in the sense of Definition 1)
associated to the previous good covering. Let
be the analytic solution to (
8), (
9) for

Proposition 5.
Under the assumptions of Theorem 1, for every and , there exist such that
for every , where we have identified and .
Proof. The proof of Theorem 1 [
11] can be followed point by point, by considering uniform bounds with respect to
, and by assuming that
plays the role of
t variable in Theorem 1 of [
11], together with the estimates in Proposition 1. □
From the previous result, one achieves the following second asymptotic relation of Gevrey mixed order .
Theorem 4.
Under the assumptions of Theorem 1, there exists a formal power series satisfying that there exist such that for all one has
for all and all .
Proof. One can define the map
for
as in the proof of Theorem 3 and apply Theorem 8 (q-RS) (see
Section 6) in virtue of Proposition 5. □
4. Asymptotic Behavior of the Analytic Solutions, II
In this section, we describe the asymptotic behavior of the analytic solutions of (
8), (
9) with respect to the time variable, near the origin. We proceed in a similar manner to
Section 3, by fixing an element in a good covering
, and providing the asymptotic properties regarding different norms on the partial sums
, for each
and all
: an
relative-sup norm, and the uniform sup-norm on the partial functions
.
In accordance to Definition 3, one can state the following symmetric definition.
Definition 5.

where for every .
Let be a real number.
We denote by the vector space of formal power series of the form , where for every , such that the relative-sup-norm of g, defined by
is finite.
Remark: We adopt the same notation for the norm in Definition 3 for simplicity. The pair is a complex Banach space. Besides, the vector space is contained in provided that .
Returning to the main problem (
8), (
9), we take for granted the assumptions made on it in
Section 2.1. Let us first fix
and a family of admissible domains which determines the geometry of the problem. We choose a finite family of sectors
, which determines a good covering in
(see Definition 8). Associated to such good covering, we consider a tuple
which is admissible with respect to the good covering
(see Definition 2). We assume
. Theorem 2 provides with a family of holomorphic solutions
, for
, of the main problem (
8), (
9), which are holomorphic and bounded in
, for some
. In addition to this, the form of such solutions is determined by (
19) with (
20) for all
. Let

Proposition 6.
We take for granted the assumptions made in Theorem 2. Then, for every there exist such that
for every , where and stand for and , respectively, provided that is small enough.
Proof. The proof of this result heavily rests on that of Proposition 3. We only give details on the steps in which this proof differs from that.
Let us fix
and
. We write the difference of two consecutive solutions
in the form (
23), with
in place of
for
. Once again, one can apply b. in Proposition 1, by substituting
by
and
replacing
. For each
, an analogous analytic continuation
of the functions
and
for all
allows us to rewrite the difference of the consecutive solutions in the form of (
24), with
and
instead of
and
, for
. From the proof of Proposition 3, we derive
leading to
It is straight to achieve the bounds
Finally, taking (
27) into account, we arrive at
for some
, which leads us to
In view of (
31), (
32) and (
33) we have
The choice of
and
and
allows us to conclude the result. □
The following result is a consequence of the classical Ramis-Sibuya Theorem 7 (RS), whose proof can be adapted from that of Theorem 3 to the good covering .
Theorem 5.
Under the assumptions of Theorem 2, there exists a formal power series satisfying that there exist such that for all one has
for all and all . Equivalently, the formal power series is the common Gevrey asymptotic expansion of order of the analytic solution , as a function with values in in , for all .
As a final step in the asymptotic study of the solutions to the main problem, we describe the results obtained when considering the classical
-sup norm, in accordance with [
11]. The symmetric version of Definition 4 reads as follows.
Definition 6.
let be a real number. We fix a bounded sector with vertex at the origin . Let us consider the set of formal power series g of the form
where for every .
Let be a real number.
We denote by the vector space of formal power series of the form , where for every , such that the -sup-norm of g, defined by
is finite.
As a result, one can follow the proof of Theorem 1 [
11], assuming uniform bounds with respect to
, to arrive at the following result.
Proposition 7.
Under the assumptions of Theorem 2, for every and , there exist such that
for every , with and .
Finally, a direct application of Theorem 8 (q-RS) to Proposition 7 leads us to the last asymptotic result on the behavior of the analytic solutions of the main problem.
