Overlap region
= Overlap region
An overlap region is a parameter-dependent range in which two neighboring <asymptotic expansions> have simultaneously ordered common limits. Between scales $\epsilon^2$ and $\epsilon$, it is $\epsilon^2\ll x\ll\epsilon$: the narrow coordinate tends to infinity while the wider coordinate tends to zero. Matching uses these limiting descriptions, not an assertion that either expansion is uniform at all values of the other's scaled variable.
