As a main result, we prove a proper characterization of the functional class R ∞ ∩ A, where R ∞ is the class of all rapidly varying functions. Also, we prove a characterization of the functional class PI * ∩ A.enopenAccesshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/The weak and strong asymptotic equivalence relations and the generalized inverse*article10.1007/s10986-011-9141-5
