We obtain an exactification of the Poincaré asymptotic expansion (PAE) of the Hankel integral, as , using the distributional approach of McClure & Wong. We find that, for half-integer orders of the Bessel function, the exactified asymptotic series terminates, so that it gives an exact finite sum representation of the Hankel integral. For other orders, the asymptotic series does not terminate and is generally divergent, but is amenable to superasymptotic summation, i.e. by optimal truncation. For specific examples, we compare the accuracy of the optimally truncated asymptotic series owing to the McClure–Wong distributional method with owing to the Mellin–Barnes integral method. We find that the former is spectacularly more accurate than the latter, by, in some cases, more than 70 orders of magnitude for the same moderate value of b . Moreover, the exactification can lead to a resummation of the PAE when it is exact, with the resummed Poincaré series exhibiting again the same spectacular accuracy. More importantly, the distributional method may yield meaningful resummations that involve scales that are not asymptotic sequences.

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.


Asymptotic expansions are derived for the inflection points j " vk of the Bessel function J v ( x ), as k → ∞ for fixed v and as v → ∞ for fixed k . Also derived is an asymptotic expansion of J v ( j" vk ) as v → ∞. Finally, we prove that j" vʎ ≽ v √2 if ʎ ≽ (0.07041) v + 0.25 and v ≽ 7, which implies by a recent result of Lorch & Szego that the sequence {| J v ( j" vk )|} is decreasing, for k ═ ʎ , ʎ + 1, ʎ + 2,....

A new simple and accurate expression to approximate the modified Bessel function of the first kind I1(x) is presented in this work. This new approximation is obtained as an improvement of the multi-point quasi-rational approximation technique, MPQA. This method uses the power series of the Bessel function, its asymptotic expansion, and a process of optimization to fit the parameters of a fitting function. The fitting expression is formed by elementary functions combined with rational ones. In the present work, a sum of hyperbolic functions was selected as elementary functions to capture the first two terms of the asymptotic expansion of I1(x), which represents an important improvement with respect to previous research, where just the leading term of the asymptotic series was captured. The new approximation function presents a remarkable agreement with the analytical solution I1(x), decreasing the maximum relative error in more than one order of magnitude with respect to previous similar expressions. Concretely, the relative error was reduced from 10−2 to 4×10−4, opening the possibility of applying the new improved method to other Bessel functions. It is also remarkable that the new approximation is valid for all positive and negative values of the argument.

AbstractWe produce an estimate for the K-Bessel function $$K_{r + i t}(y)$$ K r + i t ( y ) with positive, real argument y and of large complex order $$r+it$$ r + i t where r is bounded and $$t = y \sin \theta $$ t = y sin θ for a fixed parameter $$0\le \theta \le \pi /2$$ 0 ≤ θ ≤ π / 2 or $$t= y \cosh \mu $$ t = y cosh μ for a fixed parameter $$\mu >0$$ μ > 0 . In particular, we compute the dominant term of the asymptotic expansion of $$K_{r + i t}(y)$$ K r + i t ( y ) as $$y \rightarrow \infty $$ y → ∞ . When t and y are close (or equal), we also give a uniform estimate. As an application of these estimates, we give bounds on the weight-zero (real-analytic) Eisenstein series $$E_0^{(j)}(z, r+it)$$ E 0 ( j ) ( z , r + i t ) for each inequivalent cusp $$\kappa _j$$ κ j when $$1/2 \le r \le 3/2$$ 1 / 2 ≤ r ≤ 3 / 2 .

Abstract We investigate the Poincaré series approach to computing 3d gravity partition functions dual to Rational CFT. For a single genus-1 boundary, we show that for certain infinite sets of levels, the SU(2)k WZW models provide unitary examples for which the Poincaré series is a positive linear combination of two modular-invariant partition functions. This supports the interpretation that the bulk gravity theory (a topological Chern-Simons theory in this case) is dual to an average of distinct CFT’s sharing the same Kac-Moody algebra. We compute the weights of this average for all seed primaries and all relevant values of k. We then study other WZW models, notably SU(N)1 and SU(3)k, and find that each class presents rather different features. Finally we consider multiple genus-1 boundaries, where we find a class of seed functions for the Poincaré sum that reproduces both disconnected and connected contributions — the latter corresponding to analogues of 3-manifold “wormholes” — such that the expected average is correctly reproduced.

Abstract The Zagier L-series encode data of real quadratic fields. We study the average size of these L-series, and prove asymptotic expansions and omega results for the expansion. We then show how the error term in the asymptotic expansion can be used to obtain error terms in the prime geodesic theorem.

The accuracy of the Normal or Poisson approximations can be significantly improved by adding part of an asymptotic expansion in the exponent. The signed-compound-Poisson measures obtained in this manner can be of the same structure as the Poisson distribution. For large deviations we prove that signed-compound-Poisson measures enlarge the zone of equivalence for tails.

We study the Lambert series [Formula: see text], for all [Formula: see text]. We obtain the complete asymptotic expansion of [Formula: see text] near [Formula: see text]. Our analysis of the Lambert series yields the asymptotic forms for several related [Formula: see text]-series: the [Formula: see text]-gamma and [Formula: see text]-polygamma functions, the [Formula: see text]-Pochhammer symbol and the Jacobi theta functions. Some typical results include [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], with relative errors of order [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] respectively.
