期刊渐近分析实现了双重功能。它的目的一方面是发表受小或大参数存在影响的问题的渐近理论的原始数学结果，另一方面是为它们在不同自然科学领域的可能应用提供具体的指示。因此，渐近分析为数学家提供了他们在分析渐近问题时可能需要的新获得信息的集中来源。
The journal Asymptotic Analysis fulfills a twofold function. It aims at publishing original mathematical results in the asymptotic theory of problems affected by the presence of small or large parameters on the one hand, and at giving specific indications of their possible applications to different fields of natural sciences on the other hand. Asymptotic Analysis thus provides mathematicians with a concentrated source of newly acquired information which they may need in the analysis of asymptotic problems.
