After their discovery, in a paper published in 2008, a holomorphic torsion invariant for Calabi-Yau threefolds corresponding to the physical quantity was constructed and is called BCOV invariant. In this article, we study the asymptotic behavior of BCOV invariants for algebraic one-parameter degenerations of Calabi-Yau threefolds.
