§11.6 Asymptotic Expansions

Contents

§11.6(i) Large |z|, Fixed \nu

where \delta is an arbitrary small positive constant. If the series on the right-hand side of (11.6.1) is truncated after m(\geq 0) terms, then the remainder term R_{m}(z) is \mathop{O\/}\nolimits\!\left(z^{{\nu-2m-1}}\right). If \nu is real, z is positive, and m+\tfrac{1}{2}-\nu\geq 0, then R_{m}(z) is of the same sign and numerically less than the first neglected term.

For re-expansions of the remainder terms in (11.6.1) and (11.6.2), see Dingle (1973, p. 445).

§11.6(ii) Large |\nu|, Fixed z

More fully, the series (11.2.1) and (11.2.2) can be regarded as generalized asymptotic expansions (§2.1(v)).

§11.6(iii) Large |\nu|, Fixed z/\nu

For the corresponding result for \mathop{\mathbf{H}_{{\nu}}\/}\nolimits\!\left(\lambda\nu\right) use (11.2.5) and (10.19.6). See also Watson (1944, p. 336).

For fixed \lambda (>0)

and for an estimate of the relative error in this approximation see Watson (1944, p. 336).
