Russian term or phrase: выполняться сколь угодно точно
Добрый день,

я перевожу статью по математической экономике.
Там часто встречается термин "выполняться сколько угодно точно"
(например, "Данное равенство выполняется сколь угодно точно при достаточно больших t").
Вопрос:
как лучше всего перевести этот термин на "математический" амер. английский?
Я бы писал "holds arbitrarily precisely", но, судя по Гуглу, такой вариант не слишком широко употребляется англоязычными авторами.

С уважением,
Игорь Тимко.

the equation holds asymptotically


Explanation:
"the equation holds in the large t limit"

"the difference between the two sides of the expression tends to zero, as t tends to infinity"
