Several asymptotic expansions and formulas for cubic exponential sums are derived. The expansions are most useful when the cubic coefficient is in a restricted range. This generalizes previous results in the quadratic case and helps to…
We study the asymptotic properties of monic orthogonal polynomials (OPs) with respect to some Freud weights when the degree of the polynomial tends to infinity, including the asymptotics of the recurrence coefficients, the nontrivial…

We compute asymptotic formulas for the $k^{\rm th}$ Fourier coefficients of $b_\lambda^n$, where $b_\lambda(z)=\frac{z-\lambda}{1-\lambda z}$ is the Blaschke factor associated to $\lambda\in\mathbb{D}$, $k\in[0,\infty)$ and $n$ is a large…
In this paper we derive a new representation for the incomplete gamma function, exploiting the reformulation of the method of steepest descents by C. J. Howls (Howls, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 439 (1992) 373--396). Using this representation, we…
The scale function holds significant importance within the fluctuation theory of Levy processes, particularly in addressing exit problems. However, its definition is established through the Laplace transform, thereby lacking explicit…

Many models require integrals of high-dimensional functions: for instance, to obtain marginal likelihoods. Such integrals may be intractable, or too expensive to compute numerically. Instead, we can use the Laplace approximation (LA). The…
Laplace's method is used to approximate intractable integrals in a statistical problems. The relative error rate of the approximation is not worse than $O_p(n^{-1})$. We provide the first statistical lower bounds showing that the $n^{-1}$…
Connection coefficient formulas for special functions describe change of basis matrices under a parameter change, for bases formed by the special functions. Such formulas are related to branching questions in representation theory. The…
This paper delves on the versatility of the theory of Khinchin families for asymptotic estimation. We show that in combination with Local Central Limit theorems for lattice variables, Khinchin families furnish a convenient and unified…
We apply the Euler--Maclaurin formula to find the asymptotic expansion of the sums $\sum_{k=1}^n (\log k)^p / k^q$, ~$\sum k^q (\log k)^p$, ~$\sum (\log k)^p /(n-k)^q$, ~$\sum 1/k^q (\log k)^p $ in closed form to arbitrary order ($p,q…
The lowest eigenvalue of the Laplacian within the S-sided regular polygon with Dirichlet boundary conditions is the focus of this report. As suggested by others, this eigenvalue may be expressed as an asymptotic expansion in powers of 1/S…
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…
A detailed analysis of the remainder obtained by truncating the Euler series up to the $n$th-order term is presented. In particular, by using an approach recently proposed by Weniger, asymptotic expansions of the remainder, both in inverse…
In this paper we compute the asymptotic behavior of the recurrence coefficients for polynomials orthogonal with respect to a logarithmic weight $w(x){\rm d}x = \log \frac{2k}{1-x}{\rm d}x$ on $(-1,1)$, $k > 1$, and verify a conjecture of…
The Darwin-Fowler method in combination with the steepest descent approach is a common tool in the asymptotic description of many models arising from statistical physics. In this work, we focus rather on the non-asymptotic behavior of the…
In 2013 Bettin and Conrey have introduced a cotangent sum $c \colon \mathbb{Q}_{>0}\to \mathbb{R}$, which can be regarded as a variant of the Dedekind sum. They have discovered that the cotangent sum satisfies a kind of reciprocity laws.…

In this paper, we are interested in matrix valued orthogonal polynomials on the real line with respect to exponential weights. We obtain strong asymptotics as the degree tends to infinity in different regions of the complex plane, as well…
