Original abstract

We introduce a new class of the so-called regularly varying sequences with respect to tau and state its properties. This class, on one hand, generalizes regularly varying sequences. On the other hand, it refines them and makes it possible to do a more sophisticated analysis in applications. We show a close connection with regular variation on time scales; thanks to this relation, we can use the existing theory on time scales to develop discrete regular variation with respect to tau. We reveal also a connection with generalized regularly varying functions. As an application, we study asymptotic behavior of solutions to linear difference equations; we obtain generalization and extension of known results. The theory also yields, in some way, a new view on the tests for convergence and divergence of series; we establish the statement that generalizes Raabe test and Bertrand test.
