A generalised Struve function has recently been introduced by Ali, Mondal and Nisar [J. Korean Math. Soc. {\bf 54} (2017) 575--598] as \[(\frac{1}{2} z)^{\nu+1}\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(\frac{1}{2} z)^{2n}}{\Gamma(n+\frac{3}{2})…

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 a particular aspect of the asymptotic expansion of the Wright function ${}_1\Psi_1(z)$ for large $|z|$. The form of the exponentially small expansion associated with this function on certain rays in the $z$-plane (known as…
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…
