Abstract

Let β\natsdFβxβ\sum_{\beta\in\nats^d} F_\beta x^\beta be a multivariate power series. For example Fβxβ\sum F_\beta x^\beta could be a generating function for a combinatorial class. Assume that in a neighbourhood of the origin this series represents a nonentire function F=G/HpF=G/H^p where GG and HH are holomorphic and pp is a positive integer. Given a direction α\pnatsd\alpha\in\pnats^d for which the asymptotics are controlled by a smooth point of the singular variety H=0H = 0, we compute the asymptotics of FnαF_{n \alpha} as nn\to\infty. We do this via multivariate singularity analysis and give an explicit formula for the full asymptotic expansion. This improves on earlier work of R. Pemantle and the second author and allows for more accurate numerical approximation, as demonstrated by our examples.
