§10.67 Asymptotic Expansions for Large Argument

Contents

§10.67(i) \mathop{\mathrm{ber}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits x,\mathop{\mathrm{bei}_{{\nu}}\/}%
\nolimits x,\mathop{\mathrm{ker}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits x,\mathop{\mathrm{kei}_{{%
\nu}}\/}\nolimits x, and Derivatives

Define a_{k}(\nu) and b_{k}(\nu) as in §§10.17(i) and 10.17(ii). Then as x\to\infty with \nu fixed,

The contributions of the terms in \mathop{\mathrm{ker}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits x, \mathop{\mathrm{kei}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits x, {\mathop{\mathrm{ker}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits^{{\prime}}}x, and {\mathop{\mathrm{kei}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits^{{\prime}}}x on the right-hand sides of (10.67.3), (10.67.4), (10.67.7), and (10.67.8) are exponentially small compared with the other terms, and hence can be neglected in the sense of Poincaré asymptotic expansions (§2.1(iii)). However, their inclusion improves numerical accuracy.
