Abstract

We consider the asymptotic expansion of the functional series Sμ,γ(a;λ)=n=1nγeλn2/a2(n2+a2)μS_{\mu,\gamma}(a;\lambda)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n^\gamma e^{-\lambda n^2/a^2}}{(n^2+a^2)^\mu} for real values of the parameters γ\gamma, λ>0\lambda>0 and μ0\mu\geq0 as a|a|\to \infty in the sector arga<π/4|\arg\,a|<\pi/4. For general values of γ\gamma the expansion is of algebraic type with terms involving the Riemann zeta function and a terminating confluent hypergeometric function. Of principal interest in this study is the case corresponding to even integer values of γ\gamma, where the algebraic-type expansion consists of a finite number of terms together with a contribution comprising an infinite sequence of increasingly subdominant exponentially small expansions. This situation is analogous to the well-known Poisson-Jacobi formula corresponding to the case μ=γ=0\mu=\gamma=0. Numerical examples are provided to illustrate the accuracy of these expansions.
