We consider asymptotics of power series coefficients of rational functions of the form $1/Q$ where $Q$ is a symmetric multilinear polynomial. We review a number of such cases from the literature, chiefly concerned either with positivity of…
We apply a discrete version of the methodology in \cite{gauss} to obtain a recursive asymptotic expansion for $\esp[h(W)]$ in terms of Poisson expectations, where $W$ is a sum of independent integer-valued random variables and $h$ is a…
Let $p$ and $r$ be positive real numbers. Then, we consider the lattice point problem of the closed curve $p$-circle $\{x\in\mathbb{R}^{2}|\ |x_{1}|^{p}+|x_{2}|^{p}=r^{p}\}$ which is a generalization of the circle ($p=2$). Following the…
The self-consistent expansion (SCE) is a powerful technique for obtaining perturbative solutions to problems in statistical physics but it suffers from a subtle problem - too much freedom! The SCE can be used to generate an enormous number…
We derive the complete asymptotic expansion in terms of powers of $N$ for the geodesic $f$-energy of $N$ equally spaced points on a rectifiable simple closed curve $\Gamma$ in ${\mathbb R}^p$, $p\geq2$, as $N \to \infty$. For $f$ decreasing…
In this paper, we first generalize the Fresnel integrals by changing of a path for integration in the proof of the Fresnel integrals by Cauchy's integral theorem. Next, according to oscillatory integral, we also obtain further…
It is shown how to obtain an asymptotic expansion of the generalised central trinomial coefficient $[x^n](x^2 + bx + c)^n$ by means of singularity analysis, thus proving a conjecture of Zhi-Wei Sun.
We investigate the problem of the distribution of sums of functions of prime numbers located on an arithmetic progression. This problem is closely related to the problem of the distribution of prime numbers on an arithmetic progression.…
An asymptotic expansion for the generalised quadratic Gauss sum $$S_N(x,\theta)=\sum_{j=1}^{N} \exp (\pi ixj^2+2\pi ij\theta),$$ where $x$, $\theta$ are real and $N$ is a positive integer, is obtained as $x\rightarrow 0$ and…
In (Boyd, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 447 (1994) 609--630), W. G. C. Boyd derived a resurgence representation for the gamma function, exploiting the reformulation of the method of steepest descents by M. Berry and C. Howls (Berry and Howls, Proc.…
We define a type of generalized asymptotic series called $v$-asymptotic. We show that every function with moderate growth at infinity has a $v$-asymptotic expansion. We also describe the set of $v$-asymptotic series, where a given function…
We consider the asymptotic expansion of the Mathieu-Bessel series \[S_{\nu,\gamma}^{\mu}(a,b)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n^\gamma K_\nu(nb/a)}{(n^2+a^2)^\mu}, \qquad (\mu>0, \nu\geq 0, b>0, \gamma\in {\bf R})\] as $|a|\to\infty$ in…

We examine convergent representations for the sum of a decaying exponential and a Bessel function in the form \[\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{e^{-an}}{(\frac{1}{2} bn)^\nu}\,J_\nu(bn),\] where $J_\nu(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind…
Asymptotic integration theory gives a collection of results which provide a thorough description of the asymptotic growth and zero distribution of solutions of (*) $f''+P(z)f=~0$, where $P(z)$ is a polynomial. These results have been used…
The leading asymptotic behaviour as $t\to \infty$ of the celebrated Riemann zeta function $\zeta(s), \ s = \sigma + it, \quad 0<\sigma<1, \quad t>0 , \ t\to\infty,$ can be expressed in terms of a transcendental sum. The sharp estimation of…
We derive asymptotic expansions of the Kummer functions $M(a,b,z)$ and $U(a,b+1,z)$ for large positive values of $a$ and $b$, with $z$ fixed. For both functions we consider $b/a\le 1$ and $b/a\ge 1$, with special attention for the case…
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 prove several asymptotic results for partial and false theta functions arising from Jacobi forms, as the modular variable $\tau$ tends to $0$ along the imaginary axis, and the elliptic variable $z$ is unrestricted in the complex plane.…
