In this chapter we first show that ideas from hyperasymptotics can be used to infer the existence of terms additional to the usual operator product expansions (OPE) of QCD correlators. A connection between these quark-hadron duality-violating terms and the singularities of the Borel-Laplace transform in the Borel plane is emphasized. We then discuss a method based on functional analysis for testing the presence of duality violation from experimental data. Finally, an alternative way to go beyond finite-order perturbation theory, by a modified perturbative expansion based on the conformal mapping of the Borel plane, is briefly discussed.
