We derive an asymptotic formula for the divisor function $\tau(k)$ in an arithmetic progression $k\equiv a(\bmod \ q)$, uniformly for $q\leq X^{\Delta_{n,l}}$ with $(q,a)=1$. The parameter $\Delta_{n,l}$ is defined as $$…
We calculate some infinite sums containing the digamma function in closed-form. These sums are related either to the incomplete beta function or to the Bessel functions. The calculations yield interesting new results as by-products, such as…

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.…
Mathematical justifications are given for several integral and series representations of the Dirac delta function which appear in the physics literature. These include integrals of products of Airy functions, and of Coulomb wave functions;…

Asymptotic expansions are derived for Gegenbauer (ultraspherical) polynomials for large order $n$ that are uniformly valid for unbounded complex values of the argument $z$, including the real interval $0 \leq z \leq 1$ in which the zeros in…
We define the asymptotic behavior "almost everywhere" of additive and multiplicative arithmetic functions in the paper. Classes of additive and multiplicative arithmetic functions are singled out for which the asymptotics coincides "almost…
