Candelpergher, B.; Nosmas, J. C.; Pham, F. Approach to resurgence. (Approche de la résurgence.) (French) Zbl 0791.32001 Actualités Mathématiques. Paris: Hermann, Éditeurs des Sciences et des Arts. 289 p. (1993). The underlying book presents an elementary introduction to the theory of “resurgent functions” developed by J. Ecalle. This theory goes back to Borel’s procedure of summation of divergent series. The book consists of a prologue, two main parts, and an epilogue. While the prologue and epilogue describe the main ideas of the approach combined in the “strange calculus”, the second chapter titled “Resurgence” gives a systematic exposition of the theory of “resurgent functions”. The first chapter contains necessary results for the “resurgence” from the single variable complex analysis.
