How is asymptotic analysis (big o, little o, big theta, big theta etc.) defined for functions with multiple variables?

I know that the Wikipedia article has a section on it, but it uses a lot of mathematical notation which I am unfamiliar with it. I also found the following paper: http://people.cis.ksu.edu/~rhowell/asymptotic.pdf However the paper is very long and provides a complete analysis of asymptotic analysis rather than just giving a definition. Again the frequent usage of mathematical notation made it very hard to understand.

Could someone provide a definition of asymptotic analysis without the complex mathematical notation?

    Could you gave more context for what you're interested in (i.e. what problem you're trying to solve using asymptotic analysis for multiple variables) or perhaps a more detailed description about what notation or concepts you find confusing?2012-12-18
