§11.11 Asymptotic Expansions of Anger–Weber Functions

Contents

§11.11(ii) Large |\nu|, Fixed z

If z is fixed, and \nu\to\infty in |\mathop{\mathrm{ph}\/}\nolimits\nu|\leq\pi in such a way that \nu is bounded away from the set of all integers, then

If \nu=n(\in\Integer), then (11.10.29) applies for \mathop{\mathbf{J}_{{n}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right), and

§11.11(iii) Large \nu, Fixed z/\nu

For fixed \lambda(>1),

Also, as \nu\to+\infty,

and

uniformly for bounded real values of a. For the Scorer function \mathop{\mathrm{Hi}\/}\nolimits see §9.12(i).

All of (11.11.10)–(11.11.17) can be regarded as special cases of two asymptotic expansions given in Olver (1997b, pp. 352–357) for \mathop{\mathbf{A}_{{-\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(\lambda\nu\right) as \nu\to+\infty, one being uniform for \delta\leq\lambda\leq 1, where \delta again denotes an arbitrary small positive constant, and the other being uniform for 1\leq\lambda<\infty. (Note that Olver’s definition of \mathop{\mathbf{A}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right) omits the factor 1/\pi in (11.10.4).) See also Watson (1944, §10.15).

Lastly, corresponding asymptotic approximations and expansions for \mathop{\mathbf{J}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(\lambda\nu\right) and \mathop{\mathbf{E}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(\lambda\nu\right) follow from (11.10.15) and (11.10.16) and the corresponding asymptotic expansions for the Bessel functions \mathop{J_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right) and \mathop{Y_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right); see §10.19(ii). In particular,
