Using the steepest descent method of Deift-Zhou, we derive locally uniform asymptotic formulas for the Meixner polynomials. These include an asymptotic formula in a neighborhood of the origin, a result which as far as we are aware has not…

We study the long-time asymptotics of solutions of the uniformly parabolic equation \[ u_t + F(D^2u) = 0 \quad {in} \R^n\times \R_+, \] for a positively homogeneous operator $F$, subject to the initial condition $u(x,0) = g(x)$, under the…

We study, in this paper, a one parameter deformation of the $q-$Laguerre weight function. An investigation is made on the polynomials orthogonal with respect to such a weight. With the aid of the two compatibility conditions previously…

Convergent expansions are derived for three types of orthogonal polynomials: Charlier, Laguerre and Jacobi. The expansions have asymptotic properties for large values of the degree. The expansions are given in terms of functions that are…

Let $a_{\nu,k}$ be the $k$-th positive zero of the cross-product of Bessel functions $J_\nu(R z) Y_\nu(z) - J_\nu(z) Y_\nu(R z)$, where $\nu\geq 0$ and $R>1$. We derive an initial value problem for a first order differential equation whose…

Unstable separatrix solutions for the first and second Painlev\'e transcendents are studied both numerically and analytically. For a fixed initial condition, say $y(0)=0$, there is a discrete set of initial slopes $y'(0)=b_n$ that give rise…

This article is focused on the asymptotic expansions, as time tends to infinity, of solutions of a system of ordinary differential equations with non-smooth nonlinear terms. The forcing function decays to zero in a very complicated but…

We consider polynomials $P_n$ orthogonal with respect to the weight $J_{\nu}$ on $[0,\infty)$, where $J_{\nu}$ is the Bessel function of order $\nu$. Asheim and Huybrechs considered these polynomials in connection with complex Gaussian…

We obtain explicit formulas for the solutions of the system of second-order difference equations of the form $x_{n+ 1} = \frac{x_n y_{n-1}}{y_n (a_n + b_n x_n y_{n - 1})}, \quad y_{n+1} = \frac{x_{n - 1} y_n}{x_n (c_n+d_n x_{n-1} y_n)}$,…

Asymptotic approximations ($n \to \infty$) to the truncation errors $r_n = - \sum_{\nu=0}^{\infty} a_{\nu}$ of infinite series $\sum_{\nu=0}^{\infty} a_{\nu}$ for special functions are constructed by solving a system of linear equations.…

Let $\tau$ denote the divisor function, and $f$ be any multiplicative function that satisfies some mild hypotheses. We establish the asymptotic formula or non-trivial upper bound for the shifted convolution sum $\sum_{n \leq…

This paper consists of three parts: First, letting $b_1(z)$, $b_2(z)$, $p_1(z)$ and $p_2(z)$ be nonzero polynomials such that $p_1(z)$ and $p_2(z)$ have the same degree $k\geq 1$ and distinct leading coefficients $1$ and $\alpha$,…

In this paper we establish asymptotic (biasymptotic) equivalence between spaces of solutions of a given linear homogeneous system and a perturbed system. The perturbations are of either linear or weakly linear characters. Existence of a…

In some cases, solutions to nonlinear PDEs happen to be asymptotically (for large $x$ and/or $t$) invariant under a group $G$ which is not a symmetry of the equation. After recalling the geometrical meaning of symmetries of differential…
