In the past few years we have derived asymptotic expansions for lambda_d of the dimer problem and lambda_d(p) of the monomer-dimer problem. The many expansions so far computed are collected herein. We shine a light on results in two…
In a previous paper an asymptotic expansion for lambda_d in powers of 1/d was developed. The results of computer computations for some terms in the expansion, as well as various quantities associated to the expansion, are herein presented.…
Let (lambda_d)(p) be the p monomer-dimer entropy on the d-dimensional integer lattice Z^d, where p in [0,1] is the dimer density. We give upper and lower bounds for (lambda_d)(p) in terms of expressions involving (lambda_(d-1))(q). The…
Asymptotic expansions are obtained for contour integrals of the form \[ \int_a^b \exp \left( - zp(t) + z^{\nu /\mu } r(t) \right)q(t)dt, \] in which $z$ is a large real or complex parameter, $p(t)$, $q(t)$ and $r(t)$ are analytic functions…

We consider the asymptotic expansion of the functional series \[S_{\mu}^\pm(a;\lambda)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(\pm 1)^n e^{-\lambda n}}{(n^2+a^2)^\mu}\] for $\lambda>0$ and $\mu\geq0$ as $|a|\to \infty$ in the sector $|\arg\,a|<\pi/2$. The…
We give an overview of basic methods that can be used for obtaining asymptotic expansions of integrals: Watson's lemma, Laplace's method, the saddle point method, and the method of stationary phase. Certain developments in the field of…
We examine the sum of modified Bessel functions with argument depending non-linearly on the summation index given by \[S_{\nu,p}(a)=\sum_{n\geq 1} (an^p/2)^{-\nu} K_\nu(an^p)\qquad (a>0,\ 0\leq\nu<1)\] as the parameter $a\to 0+$, where $p$…
We study the large time behavior of solutions to the wave equation with space-dependent damping in an exterior domain. We show that if the damping is effective, then the solution is asymptotically expanded in terms of solutions of…
In recent work the author presented a formal expansion for lambda_d associated to the dimer problem on a d-dimensional rectangular lattice. Expressed in terms of d it yielded a presumed asymptotic expansion for lambda_d in inverse powers of…
