►In the case the left-hand side of (16.5.1) is an entire function, and the right-hand side supplies an integral representation valid when .
In the case the right-hand side of (16.5.1) supplies the analytic continuation of the left-hand side from the open unit disk to the sector ; compare §16.2(iii).
Lastly, when the right-hand side of (16.5.1) can be regarded as the definition of the (customarily undefined) left-hand side.
In this event, the formal power-series expansion of the left-hand side (obtained from (16.2.1)) is the asymptotic expansion of the right-hand side as in the sector , where is an arbitrary small positive constant.

►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 and at .
…Thus the right-hand side of (2.4.14) reduces to the error terms.
