We indicate here how to obtain the limiting forms of $\mathop{f\/}\nolimits\!\left(\epsilon,\ell;r\right)$ , $\mathop{h\/}\nolimits\!\left(\epsilon,\ell;r\right)$ , $\mathop{s\/}\nolimits\!\left(\epsilon,\ell;r\right)$ , and $\mathop{c\/}\nolimits\!\left(\epsilon,\ell;r\right)$ as $r\to\pm\infty$ , with $\epsilon$ and $\ell$ fixed, in the following cases:

1

When $r\to\pm\infty$ with $\epsilon>0$ , Equations (33.16.4)–(33.16.7) are combined with (33.10.1).
2

When $r\to\pm\infty$ with $\epsilon<0$ , Equations (33.16.10)–(33.16.13) are combined with

33.21.1
$\zeta_{\ell}(\nu,r)\sim e^{{-r/\nu}}(2r/\nu)^{\nu},$

$\xi_{\ell}(\nu,r)\sim e^{{r/\nu}}(2r/\nu)^{{-\nu}}$ , $r\to\infty$ ,

Symbols:

: base of exponential function, $\sim$ : asymptotic equality, $\ell$ : nonnegative integer, : real variable, $\nu$ : parameter, $\zeta_{\ell}(\nu,r)$ : function and $\xi_{\ell}(\nu,r)$ : function

$\zeta_{\ell}(-\nu,r)\sim e^{{r/\nu}}(-2r/\nu)^{{-\nu}},$

Corresponding approximations for $\mathop{s\/}\nolimits\!\left(\epsilon,\ell;r\right)$ and $\mathop{c\/}\nolimits\!\left(\epsilon,\ell;r\right)$ as $r\to\infty$ can be obtained via (33.16.17), and as $r\to-\infty$ via (33.16.18).

When $r\to\pm\infty$ with $\epsilon=0$ , combine (33.20.1), (33.20.2) with §§10.7(ii), 10.30(ii).

For asymptotic expansions of $\mathop{f\/}\nolimits\!\left(\epsilon,\ell;r\right)$ and $\mathop{h\/}\nolimits\!\left(\epsilon,\ell;r\right)$ as $r\to\pm\infty$ with $\epsilon$ and $\ell$ fixed, see Curtis (1964a, §6).
