A new uniform asymptotic expansion for the incomplete gamma function $\Gamma(a,z)$ valid for large values of $z$ was given by the author in {\it J. Comput. Appl. Math.} {\bf 148} (2002) 323--339. This expansion contains a complementary…

Linear second-order ordinary differential equations of the form $d^{2}w/dz^{2}=\{u^{2}f(a,z)$ $+g(z)\}w$ are studied for large values of the real parameter $u$, where $z$ ranges over a bounded or unbounded complex domain $Z$, and $a_{0} \le…

Asymptotic expansions are obtained for contour integrals of the form \[ \int_a^b \exp \left( - zp(t) + z^{\nu /\mu } r(t) \right)q(t)dt, \] in which $z$ is a large real or complex parameter, $p(t)$, $q(t)$ and $r(t)$ are analytic functions…
This article derives full asymptotic expansions for integrals of the form \[ \int_{0}^{1}f(u)(1+q\cdot u^{n})^{w/n}du \] as $n\rightarrow\infty$, with parameters real $w\neq 0$ and $q\in(-1,1]$, or positive $w$ for $q=-1$. We relate the…
