1: 3.7 Ordinary Differential Equations
§3.7(ii) Taylor-Series Method: Initial-Value Problems
§3.7(iii) Taylor-Series Method: Boundary-Value Problems
It will be observed that the present formulation of the Taylor-series method permits considerable parallelism in the computation, both for initial-value and boundary-value problems. … General methods for boundary-value problems for ordinary differential equations are given in Ascher et al. (1995). … The method consists of a set of rules each of which is equivalent to a truncated Taylor-series expansion, but the rules avoid the need for analytic differentiations of the differential equation. …
2: 2.10 Sums and Sequences
The asymptotic behavior of entire functions defined by Maclaurin series can be approached by converting the sum into a contour integral by use of the residue theorem and applying the methods of §§2.4 and 2.5. … By application of Laplace’s method2.3(iii)) and use again of (5.11.7), we obtain …
§2.10(iv) Taylor and Laurent Coefficients: Darboux’s Method
What is the asymptotic behavior of f n as n or n ? More specially, what is the behavior of the higher coefficients in a Taylor-series expansion? … See also Flajolet and Odlyzko (1990).
3: 9.19 Approximations
  • Corless et al. (1992) describe a method of approximation based on subdividing into a triangular mesh, with values of Ai ( z ) , Ai ( z ) stored at the nodes. Ai ( z ) and Ai ( z ) are then computed from Taylor-series expansions centered at one of the nearest nodes. The Taylor coefficients are generated by recursion, starting from the stored values of Ai ( z ) , Ai ( z ) at the node. Similarly for Bi ( z ) , Bi ( z ) .

  • 4: 2.3 Integrals of a Real Variable
    This result is probably the most frequently used method for deriving asymptotic expansions of special functions. …

    §2.3(v) Coalescing Peak and Endpoint: Bleistein’s Method
    We now expand f ( α , w ) in a Taylor series centered at the peak value w = a of the exponential factor in the integrand: …

    §2.4(iii) Laplace’s Method
    and apply the result of §2.4(iii) to each integral on the right-hand side, the role of the series (2.4.11) being played by the Taylor series of p ( t ) and q ( t ) at t = t 0 . … For this reason the name method of steepest descents is often used. …
    §2.4(v) Coalescing Saddle Points: Chester, Friedman, and Ursell’s Method
    For a symbolic method for evaluating the coefficients in the asymptotic expansions see Vidūnas and Temme (2002). …
