We give an asymptotic formula for correlations \[ \sum_{n\le x}f_1(P_1(n))f_2(P_2(n))\cdot \dots \cdot f_m(P_m(n))\] where $f\dots,f_m$ are bounded "pretentious" multiplicative functions, under certain natural hypotheses. We then deduce…
It is our aim to establish a general analytic theory of asymptotic expansions of type f(x)=a_1 phi_1(x)+dots+ a_n phi_n(x)+o(phi_n(x)), x tends to x_0 (*), where the given ordered n-tuple of real-valued functions phi_1 dots,phi_n forms an…
We demonstrate how the asymptotics for large $|z|$ of the generalised Bessel function \[{}_0\Psi_1(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{z^n}{\Gamma(an+b) n!},\] where $a>-1$ and $b$ is any number (real or complex), may be obtained by exploiting the…
We derive two-sided bounds for a class of Stirling-type asymptotic formulas for piecewise logarithmic interpolations of the pi function, and hence also for the factorials and the gamma functions. The bounds are derived by first proving some…
We examine the sum of modified Bessel functions with argument depending quadratically on the summation index given by \[S_\nu(a)=\sum_{n\geq 1} (\frac{1}{2} an^2)^{-\nu} K_\nu(an^2)\qquad (|\arg\,a|<\pi/2)\] as the parameter $|a|\to 0$. It…
We provide several asymptotic expansions of the prime counting function $\pi(x)$ and related functions. We define an {\it asymptotic continued fraction expansion} of a complex-valued function of a real or complex variable to be a possibly…
Let $t(N)$ denote the largest number such that $N!$ can be expressed as the product of $N$ integers greater than or equal to $t(N)$. The bound $t(N)/N = 1/e-o(1)$ was apparently established in unpublished work of Erd\H{o}s, Selfridge, and…
We derive asymptotic formulas for central extended binomial coefficients, which are generalizations of binomial coefficients. To do so, we relate the exact distribution of the sum of independent discrete uniform random variables to the…
When k > 1 and s is sufficiently large in terms of k, we derive an explicit multi-term asymptotic expansion for the number of representations of a large natural number as the sum of s positive integral k-th powers.
An asymptotic expansion for a ratio of products of gamma functions is derived.
The classical Stirling's formula gives the asymptotic behavior of the gamma function. Katayama and Ohtsuki generalized this formula for Barnes' multiple gamma functions. In this paper, we further generalize these formulas for the multiple…
Associated to each random variable $Y$ having a finite moment generating function, we introduce a different generalization of the Stirling numbers of the second kind. Some characterizations and specific examples of such generalized numbers…
We study the distribution of partition parts in arithmetic progressions and find asymptotic results that capture all exponentially growing terms. This is accomplished by studying the behavior of non-modular Eisenstein series that appear in…
We offer new Tauberian theorems for a generalized partition function as our main result. Our analysis provides insight into asymptotic behavior of power series with arithmetic functions as coefficients.
We establish asymptotic estimates of Mathieu-type series defined by sequences with power-logarithmic or factorial behavior. By taking the Mellin transform, the problem is mapped to the singular behavior of certain Dirichlet series, which is…
Using a variational approach, two new series representations for the incomplete Gamma function are derived: the first is an asymptotic series, which contains and improves over the standard asymptotic expansion; the second is a uniformly…
Among all sequences that satisfy a divide-and-conquer recurrence, the sequences that are rational with respect to a numeration system are certainly the most immediate and most essential. Nevertheless, until recently they have not been…
We introduce a generalization of the Stirling numbers via symmetric functions involving two weight functions. The resulting extension unifies previously known Stirling-type sequences with known symmetric function forms, as well as other…
In this paper, we provide new formulas for determining the coefficients appearing in the asymptotic expansion for the Barnes $G$-function as $n$ tends to infinity for certain classes of asymptotic expansion for the Barnes $G$-function. We…
We consider the asymptotic expansion of the functional series \[S_{\mu}^\pm(a;\lambda)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{(\pm 1)^n e^{-\lambda n}}{(n^2+a^2)^\mu}\] for $\lambda>0$ and $\mu\geq0$ as $|a|\to \infty$ in the sector $|\arg\,a|<\pi/2$. The…
