Airy Turning-Point Asymptotics for Ramanujan's Entire Function $A_q(z)$
Abstract
Let be Ramanujan's entire function. We study it in the turning-point scaling with in a compact subset of . After an explicit exponential normalization, a direct coalescing-saddle analysis gives, uniformly on compact subsets, the expansion Thus the first correction is explicit and comes with a quantitative remainder. For every fixed , the same analysis locates the positive zero associated with the -th Airy zero and proves that it is globally the -th positive zero of . Expanding the normalized -difference equation recovers the Airy differential equation and confirms the scaling. An appendix records Morita's antisymmetric companion, whose normalized limit is , together with a single-valued meromorphic descent of it. Numerical tables illustrate the normalization, the correction, and the zero formulas.
