Colombeau Algebras are differential algebras of generalized functions (that include the space of distributions) that are defined using a quotient set procedure involving particular classes of nets in a basic space E = (C∞(Ω))A, where Ω is an open subset of R n and A is an index set. The choice of such nets depends mainly on their asymptotic behavior over a suitable index set A. Many variants of Colombeau Algebras existing in the literature occur mainly due to different choices of the index set (and to the choice of asymptotic behavior). A purpose of this paper is to formally unify some of these algebras, redefining the asymptotic behavior on an abstract (pre-ordered) set of indices, and generalizing the corresponding “Landau big-O” notion. Such notions are reformulated in order to simplify the definition of diffeomorphism invariant algebra and to generalize some theorems which hold in the case of a special algebra
