A standard way to calculate the asymptotic behavior of integrals of the form \int_Wg(x)e^{-nh(x)}dx is the (continuous) Laplace asymptotic method. However, also discrete sums like \sum_{x\in W\cap\Lambda_n}g_n(x)e^{-nh_n(x)} have similar…

This paper develops asymptotic theory of integrals of empirical quantile functions with respect to random weight functions, which is an extension of classical $L$-statistics. They appear when sample trimming or Winsorization is applied to…

We develop a Laplace's method to compute the asymptotic expansions of sums of sharply peaked sequences. These series arise as discretizations (Riemann sums) of sharply-peaked integrals, whose asymptotic behavior can be computed by the…

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|…

Here we examine the number of ways to partition an integer $n$ into $k$th powers when $n$ is large. Simplified proofs of some asymptotic results of Wright are given using the saddle-point method, including exact formulas for the expansion…

We consider the asymptotic expansion of the Wright function \[W_{\lambda,\mu}(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{z^n}{n! \Gamma(\lambda n+\mu)}\qquad (\lambda>-1)\] for large (positive and negative) variable and large parameter $\mu$. The analysis…

Asymptotic equivalence theory developed in the literature so far are only for bounded loss functions. This limits the potential applications of the theory because many commonly used loss functions in statistical inference are unbounded. In…

Uniform asymptotic approximations are obtained for the prolate spheroidal wave functions, in the high-frequency case. The results are obtained by an application of certain existing asymptotic solutions of differential equations, and involve…

We introduce an alternative to the method of matched asymptotic expansions. In the "traditional" implementation, approximate solutions, valid in different (but overlapping) regions are matched by using "intermediate" variables. Here we…

Linear second-order ordinary differential equations of the form $d^{2}w/dz^{2}=\{u^{2}f(a,z)$ $+g(z)\}w$ are studied for large values of the real parameter $u$, where $z$ ranges over a bounded or unbounded complex domain $Z$, and $a_{0} \le…

We investigate the asymptotic expansion of integrals analogous to Ball's integral \[\int_0^\infty \left(\frac{\Gamma(1+\nu)|J_\nu(x)|}{(x/2)^\nu}\right)^{\!n}dx\] for large $n$ in which the Bessel function $J_\nu(x)$ is replaced by the…

We consider the oscillatory integrals with parameter-dependent phases. We decompose the integrals into a leading term and a remainder term. Instead of the pointwise estimate, we use some $L^p$-estimate for the remainder term and get various…

Symmetric elliptic integrals, which have been used as replacements for Legendre's integrals in recent integral tables and computer codes, are homogeneous functions of three or four variables. When some of the variables are much larger than…

In this paper, we derive new asymptotic expansions for the solutions of higher order elliptic equations in the presence of small inclusions. As a byproduct, we derive a topological derivative based algorithm for the reconstruction of…

We construct asymptotic expansions of Laplace type for the time-dependent quantum averages for Bose systems with many degrees of freedom, initially populated in coherent states. These solutions are localized in phase space, and they are…
