1: 2.6 Distributional Methods
§2.6(i) Divergent Integrals
Although divergent, these integrals may be interpreted in a generalized sense. … The fact that expansion (2.6.6) misses all the terms in the second series in (2.6.7) raises the question: what went wrong with our process of reaching (2.6.6)? In the following subsections, we use some elementary facts of distribution theory (§1.16) to study the proper use of divergent integrals. … On inserting this identity into (2.6.54), we immediately encounter divergent integrals of the form …However, in the theory of generalized functions (distributions), there is a method, known as “regularization”, by which these integrals can be interpreted in a meaningful manner. …

5: 2.11 Remainder Terms; Stokes Phenomenon
For divergent expansions the situation is even more difficult. … As an example consider … However, regardless whether we can bound the remainder, the accuracy achievable by direct numerical summation of a divergent asymptotic series is always limited. … From §8.19(i) the generalized exponential integral is given by … The transformations in §3.9 for summing slowly convergent series can also be very effective when applied to divergent asymptotic series. …
