This three-volume work treats divergent series in one variable, especially those arising as solutions to complex ordinary differential or difference equations, and methods for extracting their analytic information.

It provides a systematic construction, illustrated with examples, of the various theories of summability and the theory of resurgence developed since the 1980s. The Stokes phenomenon, for both linear and non-linear equations, plays an underlying and unifying role throughout the volumes.

Applications presented include resurgent analyses of the First Painlevé equation and of the tangent-to-identity germs of diffeomorphisms of C, and links to differential Galois theory and the Riemann-Hilbert problem for linear differential equations.

The volumes are aimed at graduate students, mathematicians in general, and theoretical physicists who are interested in the theories of monodromy, summability, and resurgence, as well as the current problems in the field.Although the three volumes are closely related, they have been organized to be read independently. The prerequisites are advanced calculus, especially holomorphic functions in one complex variable, and differential algebra. Moreover; the various themes are presented thoroughly step-by-step so as to be accessible to first-year graduate students in mathematics.

This three-volume treatise should become a reference on summability and resurgence.
