ASYMPTOTIC-GROUP ANALYSIS OF ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS A. D. SHAMROVSKII, I. V. ANDRIANOV, AND J. AWREJCEWICZ Received 15 June 2004 Both the method of asymptotic analysis and the theory of extension group are applied to study the Descates equation. The proposed algorithm allows to obtain various variants of simplification and can be easily generalized to their algebraic and differential equations. 1. Introduction First published in 1680, though applied for the first time eleven years earlier, the approach that exploits logarithms of initial values instead of the values themselves is due to Newton (the reader is encouraged to follow the history of the problem described in [7]). The ap- proach is still of crucial importance as it enables transformation of a previously defined nonlinear problem using the initial coordinates to a linear problem applying the logarith- mic coordinates. Further development of the idea following this direction is called power geometry (cf. [6, 7, 8]). Recently, a very active development of two new and theoretically coupled branches of asymptotical analysis has been observed: power geometry [6, 7, 8] and idempotent analysis [9, 10]. Power geometry focuses on investigations of nonlinear problems using logarithmic coordinates instead of classical ones, owing to which many of the original nonlinear properties become linear in new logarithmic coordinates. Power geometry al- gorithms that implement those linear relations lead to simplification of equations and isolation of their singularities, and to determination of the first approximations of the singularities. Application of power geometry methods makes it possible not only to find solutions that may take the form of their asymptotics but also to use other approaches to arrive at these asymptotics. The idempotent analysis is oriented mainly towards introduction of a new summation [9, 10] of the form u v
