The quadrature error associated with a regular quadrature rule for evaluation of a layer potential increases rapidly when the evaluation point approaches the surface and the integral becomes nearly singular. Error estimates are needed to…
We find two convergent series expansions for Legendre's first incomplete elliptic integral $F(\lambda,k)$ in terms of recursively computed elementary functions. Both expansions are valid at every point of the unit square $0<\lambda,k<1$.…
We consider the uniform asymptotic expansion for the Gauss hypergeometric function \[F(a+\epsilon\lambda,m;c+\lambda;x),\qquad \lambda\to+\infty\] for $x<1$ and positive integer $m$ when the parameter $\epsilon>1$ and the constants $a$ and…

Asymptotic expansions are derived for associated Legendre functions of degree $\nu$ and order $\mu$, where one or the other of the parameters is large. The expansions are uniformly valid for unbounded real and complex values of the argument…
Surprisingly, apart from some special cases, simple asymptotic expansions for the associated Legendre functions $P_\nu ^\mu (z)$ and $Q_\nu ^\mu (z)$ for large degree $\nu$ or large order $\mu$ are not available in the literature. The main…
Recently, Trefethen (SIAM Review 50 (2008), 67--87) and Xiang and Bornemann (SIAM J. Numer. Anal. 50 (2012), 2581--2587) investigated error bounds for n-point Gauss and Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature for the Legendre weight with integrands…
By application of the theory for second-order linear differential equations with two turning points developed in [Olver F.W.J., Philos. Trans. Roy. Soc. London Ser. A 278 (1975), 137-174], uniform asymptotic approximations are obtained in…
In this paper we present a new perspective on error analysis of Legendre approximations for differentiable functions. We start by introducing a sequence of Legendre-Gauss-Lobatto polynomials and prove their theoretical properties, such as…
We investigate a Gaussian quadrature rule and the corresponding orthogonal polynomials for the oscillatory weight function $e^{i\omega x}$ on the interval $[-1,1]$. We show that such a rule attains high asymptotic order, in the sense that…
We conclude our work [arXiv:2403.07628, arXiv:2503.12644] on asymptotic expansions at the soft edge for the classical $n$-dimensional Gaussian and Laguerre ensembles, now studying the gap-probability generating functions. We show that the…
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…
The asymptotic behavior of solutions to the second-order linear differential equation $d^{2}w/dz^{2}=\{u^{2}f(\alpha,z)+g(z)\}w$ is analyzed for a large real parameter $u$ and $\alpha\in[0,\alpha_{0}]$, where $\alpha_{0}>0$ is fixed. The…
