§10.18(iii) Asymptotic Expansions for Large Argument

Notes:: For (10.18.17), and also the concluding paragraph, see Watson (1944, pp. 448–449). For (10.18.19) substitute into ${\mathop{N_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits^{{2}}}\!\left(x\right)={\mathop{{H^{{(1)}}_{{% \nu}}}\/}\nolimits^{{\prime}}}\!\left(x\right){\mathop{{H^{{(2)}}_{{\nu}}}\/}% \nolimits^{{\prime}}}\!\left(x\right)$ by means of (10.17.11), (10.17.12). The general term in (10.18.20) can be verified via (10.18.10). For (10.18.18) the first two terms can be found from (10.18.7), (10.17.3), (10.17.4), except for an arbitrary integer multiple of $\pi$ . Higher terms can be calculated via (10.18.8), (10.18.17). By continuity, the multiple of $\pi$ is independent of $\nu$ , hence it may be determined, e.g. by setting $\nu=\tfrac{1}{2}$ and referring to (10.16.1). Similar methods can be used for (10.18.21), together with the interlacing properties of the zeros of $\mathop{J_{{1/2}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right)$ , $\mathop{Y_{{1/2}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right)$ , and their derivatives (§10.21(i)). See also Bickley et al. (1952, p. xxxiv).
