We derive two distinct asymptotic expansions for the zeros $j_{\nu,k}^{(n)}$ of the $n$-th derivative of Bessel function $J_\nu^{(n)}(x)$. The first is a McMahon-type expansion for the case when $k \to \infty$ with fixed $\nu$, for which we…
Bessel and modified Bessel functions of imaginary order $i\nu$ ($\nu >0$) are studied. Asymptotic expansions are derived as $\nu \to \infty$ that are uniformly valid in unbounded complex domains, with error bounds provided. Coupled with…
We show how one can obtain an asymptotic expression for some special functions satisfying a second order differential equation with a very explicit error term starting from appropriate upper bounds. We will work out the details for the…
We consider the asymptotic expansion of the Mathieu-Bessel series \[S_\nu(a,b)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{n^\gamma J_\nu(nb/a)}{(n^2+a^2)^\mu}, \qquad (\mu, b>0,\ \gamma, \nu\in {\bf R})\] as $a\to+\infty$ with the other parameters held fixed,…
Uniform asymptotic expansions are derived for the zeros of the reverse generalized Bessel polynomials of large degree $n$ and real parameter $a$. It is assumed that $-\Delta_{1} n+\frac{3}{2} \leq a \leq \Delta_{2} n$ for fixed arbitrary…

We investigate the asymptotic expansion of integrals analogous to Ball's integral \[\int_0^\infty \left(\frac{\Gamma(1+\nu)|J_\nu(x)|}{(x/2)^\nu}\right)^{\!n}dx\] for large $n$ in which the Bessel function $J_\nu(x)$ is replaced by the…
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 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…
Computable and sharp error bounds are derived for asymptotic expansions for linear differential equations having a simple turning point. The expansions involve Airy functions and slowly varying coefficient functions. The sharpness of the…
The modified Bessel function of the second kind $K_{i\nu}(x)$ of imaginary order for fixed $x>0$ possesses a countably infinite sequence of real zeros. Recently it has been shown that the $n$th zero behaves like $\nu_n\sim \pi n/\log\,n$ as…
The $\nu$-zeros of the Bessel functions of purely imaginary order are examined for fixed argument $x>0$. In the case of the modified Bessel function of the second kind $K_{i\nu}(x)$, it is known that it possesses a countably infinite…
We study the classical problem of finding asymptotics for the Bessel functions $J_{\nu}(z)$ and $Y_{\nu}(z)$ as the argument $z$ and the order $\nu$ approach infinity. We use blow-up analysis to find asymptotics for the modulus and phase of…
For any fixed $\nu\ge 0, \delta\in \mathbb R$ and $x>0$, we investigate the positive zeros of the derivatives $j'_{\nu,\delta}(x)$ and $y'_{\nu,\delta}(x)$, where \begin{equation*} j_{\nu,\delta}(x)=x^{-\delta}J_{\nu}(x)\quad\text{and}…
