A new short clear proof of the asymptotics for the number $c_n$ of real roots of the Bernoulli polynomials $B_n(x)$, as well as for the maximal root $y_n$: $$y_n=\frac{n}{2\pi e}+\frac{\ln(n)}{4\pi e}+O(1)\quad\text{and}\quad…

In this paper, we study the asymptotics of the Hahn polynomials Q_n(x; {\alpha}, {\beta}, N) as the degree n grows to infinity, when the parameters {\alpha} and {\beta} are fixed and the ratio of n/N = c is a constant in the interval (0,…

We derive asymptotic expansions of the Kummer functions $M(a,b,z)$ and $U(a,b+1,z)$ for large positive values of $a$ and $b$, with $z$ fixed. For both functions we consider $b/a\le 1$ and $b/a\ge 1$, with special attention for the case…
We carry out the asymptotic analysis as $n \to \infty$ of a class of orthogonal polynomials $p_{n}(z)$ of degree $n$, defined with respect to the planar measure \begin{equation*} d\mu(z) = (1-|z|^{2})^{\alpha-1}|z-x|^{\gamma}\mathbf{1}_{|z|…
We introduce a version of the asymptotic expansions for Bessel functions $J_\nu(z)$, $Y_\nu(z)$ that is valid whenever $|z| > \nu$ (which is deep in the Fresnel regime), as opposed to the standard expansions that are applicable only in the…
The classical orthogonal polynomials (Hermite, Laguerre and Jacobi) are involved in a vast number of applications in physics and engineering. When large degrees $n$ are needed, the use of recursion to compute the polynomials is not a good…
We consider the generalised Mathieu series \[\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n^\gamma}{(n^\lambda+a^\lambda)^\mu}\qquad (\mu>0)\] when the parameters $\lambda$ ($>0$) and $\gamma$ are even integers for large complex $a$ in the sector…
In this lecture notes we try to familiarize the audience with the theory of Bernoulli polynomials; we study their properties, and we give, with proofs and references, some of the most relevant results related to them. Several applications…
We consider differences between $\log \Gamma(x)$ and truncations of certain classical asymptotic expansions in inverse powers of $x-\lambda$ whose coefficients are expressed in terms of Bernoulli polynomials $B_n(\lambda)$, and we obtain…
We discuss the asymptotic expansions of certain products of Bernoulli numbers and factorials, e.g., \[ \prod_{\nu=1}^n |B_{2\nu}| \quad \text{and} \quad \prod_{\nu=1}^n (k \nu)!^{\nu^r} \quad \text{as} \quad n \to \infty \] for integers $k…
We derive an expression for the generalized Bernoulli numbers in terms of the Bernoulli numbers involving the (exponential) complete Bell polynomials.
An asymptotic expansion formula of Riemann sums over lattice polytopes is given. The formula is an asymptotic form of the local Euler-Maclaurin formula due to Berline-Vergne. The proof given here for Delzant lattice polytopes is independent…
Bessel and modified Bessel functions of imaginary order $i\nu$ ($\nu >0$) are studied. Asymptotic expansions are derived as $\nu \to \infty$ that are uniformly valid in unbounded complex domains, with error bounds provided. Coupled with…
We establish some asymptotic expansions for infinite weighted convolutions of distributions having light subexponential tails. Examples are presented, some showing that in order to obtain an expansion with two significant terms, one needs…
We introduce a new representation for the rescaled Appell polynomials and use it to obtain asymptotic expansions to arbitrary order. This representation consists of a finite sum and an integral over a universal contour (i.e. independent of…
In this paper, the asymptotic formulas for Eulerian numbers, refined Eulerian numbers and the coefficients of descent polynomials are obtained directly from the spline interpretations of these numbers. Having related these numbers directly…
