Abstract

The refined asymptotic expansion of the confluent hypergeometric function M(a,b,z)M(a,b,z) on the Stokes line argz=π\arg\,z=\pi given in {\it Appl. Math. Sci.} {\bf 7} (2013) 6601--6609 is employed to derive the correct exponentially small contribution to the asymptotic expansion for the even and odd solutions of a second-order differential equation related to Weber's equation. It is demonstrated that the standard asymptotics of the parabolic cylinder function U(a,z)U(a,z) yield an incorrect exponentially small contribution to these solutions. Numerical results verifying the accuracy of the new expansions are given.
