We find the asymptotics of the series $\sum_{n=1}^\infty (-1)^n n^{-1} \exp(-t/n)$ as $t\to+\infty$. The answer is an oscillating function of $t$ dominated by $\exp(-(2\pi t)^{1/2})$. The intermediate step is to find the asymptotics of the…
We study the asymptotic behavior of cumulants of lacunary trigonometric sums $S_n(\omega) := \sum_{k=1}^n \cos (2 \pi a_k \omega)$, $\omega\in[0,1]$, and show that cumulant growth is highly sensitive to the arithmetic structure of the…

A representation for the Riemann zeta function valid for arbitrary complex $s=\sigma+it$ is $\zeta(s)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty A(n,s)$, where \[A(n,s)=\frac{2^{-n-1}}{1-2^{1-s}} \sum_{k=0}^n \left(\!\begin{array}{c}n\\k\end{array}\!\right)…
In this paper, we study the asymptotics of the Hahn polynomials Q_n(x; {\alpha}, {\beta}, N) as the degree n grows to infinity, when the parameters {\alpha} and {\beta} are fixed and the ratio of n/N = c is a constant in the interval (0,…
