We re-examine the exponentially improved expansion for $\log\,\g(z)$, first considered in Paris and Wood in 1991, to point out that the recent treatment by Kowalenko [Exactification of Stirling's approximation for the logarithm of the gamma…
Exactification is the process of obtaining exact values of a function from its complete asymptotic expansion. Here Stirling's approximation for the logarithm of the gamma function or $\ln \Gamma(z)$ is derived completely whereby it is…
The Stokes phenomenon is the apparent discontinuous change in the form of the asymptotic expansion of a function across certain rays in the complex plane, known as Stokes lines, as additional expansions, pre-factored by exponentially small…
For nearly a century and a half the Stokes phenomenon had been perceived as a discontinuous change in the asymptotic representation of a function. In 1989 Berry demonstrated how it is possible to smooth out this discontinuity in broad…
In (Boyd, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 447 (1994) 609--630), W. G. C. Boyd derived a resurgence representation for the gamma function, exploiting the reformulation of the method of steepest descents by M. Berry and C. Howls (Berry and Howls, Proc.…
We review \'Ecalle's formalism of minors, natural-majors and real-majors, and provide explicit formulas in the Borel plane that show the resurgence of the exponential of the Stirling series. We also discuss its Stokes phenomena in the…
In this paper we derive new representations for the incomplete gamma function, exploiting the reformulation of the method of steepest descents by C. J. Howls (Howls, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 439 (1992) 373--396). Using these representations,…
We examine two central regularization strategies for monotone variational inequalities, the first a direct regularization of the operative monotone mapping, and the second via regularization of the associated dual gap function. A key link…
We show how the asymptotic expansion for the gamma function $\Gamma(x)$, similar to that obtained by Boyd [Proc. Roy. Soc. London A447 (1994) 609--630], can be obtained by using a form of Lagrange's inversion theorem with a remainder. A…
We examine the exponentially improved asymptotic expansion of the Lerch zeta function $L(\lambda,a,s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \exp (2\pi ni\lambda)/(n+a)^s$ for large complex values of $a$, with $\lambda$ and $s$ regarded as parameters. It is…
We give bounds on the error in the asymptotic approximation of the log-Gamma function $\ln\Gamma(z)$ for complex $z$ in the right half-plane. These improve on earlier bounds by Behnke and Sommer (1962), Spira (1971), and Hare (1997). We…
We apply the Euler--Maclaurin formula to find the asymptotic expansion of the sums $\sum_{k=1}^n (\log k)^p / k^q$, ~$\sum k^q (\log k)^p$, ~$\sum (\log k)^p /(n-k)^q$, ~$\sum 1/k^q (\log k)^p $ in closed form to arbitrary order ($p,q…
In this paper, two new series for the logarithm of the $\Gamma$-function are presented and studied. Their polygamma analogs are also obtained and discussed. These series involve the Stirling numbers of the first kind and have the property…
In a companion paper, Grimshaw (Asymptotic Methods in Fluid Mechanics, 2010, pp. 71-120) has demonstrated how techniques of Borel summation can be used to elucidate the exponentially small terms that lie hidden beyond all orders of a…
A general regularization strategy is considered for the efficient iterative solution of the lowest-order weak Galerkin approximation of singular Stokes problems. The strategy adds a rank-one regularization term to the zero (2,2) block of…
In the present work zero of dispersive function from Stokes' second problem are investigated. Stokes' second problem is a problem about behavior of the rarefied gas filling half-space. A plane, limiting half-space, makes harmonious…
Inspired by the numerical immersed boundary method, we introduce regularized Stokes immersed boundary problems in two dimensions to describe regularized motion of a 1-D closed elastic string in a 2-D Stokes flow, in which a regularized…
We demonstrate how the asymptotics for large $|z|$ of the generalised Bessel function \[{}_0\Psi_1(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{z^n}{\Gamma(an+b) n!},\] where $a>-1$ and $b$ is any number (real or complex), may be obtained by exploiting the…
Here presented is a unified approach to Stirling numbers and their generalizations as well as generalized Stirling functions by using generalized factorial functions, $k$-Gamma functions, and generalized divided difference. Previous…
Stirling's formula, the asymptotic expansion of $n!$ for $n$ large, or of $\Gamma(z)$ for $z\to \infty$, is derived directly from the recursion equation $\Gamma(z+1) =z \Gamma(s)$ and the normalization condition $\Gamma ({1/2})…
