Exponential asymptotics of the Voigt functions

Classical Analysis and ODEs 2014-04-01 v1

Abstract

We obtain the asymptotic expansion of the Voigt functions K(x,y)K(x,y) and L(x,y)L(x,y) for large (real) values of the variables xx and yy, paying particular attention to the exponentially small contributions. A Stokes phenomenon is encountered as y+y\rightarrow+\infty with x>0x>0 fixed. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of these new expansions.
