We obtain the asymptotic expansion for large integer $n$ of a generalised sine-integral \[\int_0^\infty\left(\frac{\sin\,x}{x}\right)^{n}dx\] by utilising the saddle-point method. This expansion is shown to agree with recent results of J.…

Surprisingly, apart from some special cases, simple asymptotic expansions for the associated Legendre functions $P_\nu ^\mu (z)$ and $Q_\nu ^\mu (z)$ for large degree $\nu$ or large order $\mu$ are not available in the literature. The main…
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…
In this paper, we prove asymptotic expansions of generalized partial theta functions with a nonprincipal Dirichlet character and relate these expansions to certain $L$-series.
This article derives full asymptotic expansions for integrals of the form \[ \int_{0}^{1}f(u)(1+q\cdot u^{n})^{w/n}du \] as $n\rightarrow\infty$, with parameters real $w\neq 0$ and $q\in(-1,1]$, or positive $w$ for $q=-1$. We relate the…
In this paper, we reconsider the large-$z$ asymptotic expansion of the Lommel function $S_{\mu,\nu}(z)$ and its derivative. New representations for the remainder terms of the asymptotic expansions are found and used to obtain sharp and…
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 derive two distinct asymptotic expansions for the zeros $j_{\nu,k}^{(n)}$ of the $n$-th derivative of Bessel function $J_\nu^{(n)}(x)$. The first is a McMahon-type expansion for the case when $k \to \infty$ with fixed $\nu$, for which we…
