In this paper, we reconsider the large- a asymptotic expansion of the Hurwitz zeta function ζ ( s , a ). New representations for the remainder term of the asymptotic expansion are found and used to obtain sharp and realistic error bounds. Applications to the asymptotic expansions of the polygamma functions, the gamma function, the Barnes G -function and the s -derivative of the Hurwitz zeta function ζ ( s , a ) are provided. A detailed discussion on the sharpness of our error bounds is also given.

In a recent investigation of the asymptotic behavior of the Lebesgue constants for Jacobi polynomials, we encountered the problem of obtaining an asymptotic expansion for the Jacobi polynomials , as n → ∞, which is uniformly valid for θ in . The leading term of such an expansion is provided by the following well-known formula of “Hilb's type” [13, p. 197]:(1.1)where α > – 1, β real and ; c and are fixed positive numbers. Note that the remainder in (1.1) is always θ1/2O(n–3/2).

Asymptotic Representations

Recent work of Berry & Howls, which reformulated the method of steepest de­scents, is exploited to derive a new representation for the gamma function. It is shown how this representation can be used to derive a number of properties of the asymptotic expansion of the gamma function, including explicit and realistic error bounds, the Berry transition between different asymptotic representations across a Stokes line, and asymptotic estimates for the late coefficients.

In 1994 Boyd derived a resurgence representation for the gamma function, exploiting the 1991 reformulation of the method of steepest descents by Berry and Howls. Using this representation, he was able to derive a number of properties of the asymptotic expansion for the gamma function, including explicit and realistic error bounds, the smooth transition of the Stokes discontinuities and asymptotics for the late coefficients. The main aim of this paper is to modify Boyd’s resurgence formula, making it suitable for deriving better error estimates for the asymptotic expansions of the gamma function and its reciprocal. We also prove the exponentially improved versions of these expansions complete with error terms. Finally, we provide new (formal) asymptotic expansions for the coefficients appearing in the asymptotic series and compare their numerical efficacy with the results of earlier authors.
