The asymptotic expansion of bessel functions of large order

New expansions are obtained for the functions Iv{yz), ) and their derivatives in terms of elementary functions, and for the functions J v(vz), Yv{vz), H fvz) and their derivatives in terms of Airy functions, which are uniformly valid with respect to z when | | is large. New series for the zeros and associated values are derived by reversion and used to determine the distribution of the zeros of functions of large order in the z-plane. Particular attention is paid to the complex zeros of 7„(z) and the Hankel functions when the order n is an integer or half an odd integer, and for this purpose some new asymptotic expansions of the Airy functions are derived. Tables are given of complex zeros of Airy functions and other quantities which facilitate the rapid calculation of the smaller complex zeros of 7„(z), 7'(z), and the Hankel functions and their derivatives, when 2 n is an integer, to an accuracy of three or four significant figures.

New expansions for the Legendre functions and are obtained; m and n are large positive numbers, is kept fixed as is an unrestricted complex variable. Three groups of expansions are obtained. The first is in terms of exponential functions. These expansions are uniformly valid as with respect to z for all z lying in except for the strips given by. The second set of expansions is in terms of Airy functions. These expansions are uniformly valid with respect to z throughout the whole z plane cut from except for a pear-shaped domain surrounding the point z = — 1 and a strip lying immediately below the real z axis for which . The third group of expansions is in terms of Bessel functions of order m . These expansions are valid uniformly with respect to z over the whole cut z plane except for the pear-shaped domain surrounding z = — 1. No expansions have been given before for the Legendre functions of large degree and order.

The Szegő–Askey polynomials are orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. In this paper, we study their asymptotic behavior by knowing only their weight function. Using the Riemann–Hilbert method, we obtain global asymptotic formulas in terms of Bessel functions and elementary functions for z in two overlapping regions, which together cover the whole complex plane. Our results agree with those obtained earlier by Temme [Uniform asymptotic expansion for a class of polynomials biorthogonal on the unit circle, Constr. Approx. 2 (1986) 369–376]. Temme's approach started from an explicit expression of the Szegő–Askey polynomials in terms of an2F1-function, and followed by integral methods.

The ability to accurately and efficiently characterize multiple scattering of waves of different nature attracts substantial interest in physics. The advent of photonic crystals has created additional impetus in this direction. An efficient approach in the study of multiple scattering originates from the Rayleigh method, which often requires the summation of conditionally converging series. Here summation formulae have been derived for conditionally convergent Schlömilch type series ∑ s = − ∞ ∞ Z n ( | s D − x | ) × e − i n arg ⁡ ( s D − x )   e i s D sin ⁡ θ 0 , where Z n ( z ) stands for any of the following cylindrical functions of integer order: Bessel functions J n ( z ), Neumann functions Y n ( z ) or Hankel functions of the first kind H n ( 1 ) ( z ) = J n ( z ) + i Y n ( z ) . These series arise in two-dimensional scattering problems on diffraction gratings with multiple inclusions per unit cell. It is shown that the Schlömilch series involving Hankel functions or Neumann functions can be expressed as an absolutely converging series of elementary functions and a finite sum of Lerch transcendent functions, while the Schlömilch series of Bessel functions can be transformed into a finite sum of elementary functions. The closed-form expressions for the Coates's integrals of integer order have also been found. The derived equations have been verified numerically and their accuracy and efficiency has been demonstrated.

AbstractA new analytical approximation for the Chapman mapping integral, $${\text {Ch}}$$ Ch , for exponential atmospheres is proposed. This formulation is based on the derived relation of the Chapman function to several classes of the incomplete Bessel functions. Application of the uniform asymptotic expansion to the incomplete Bessel functions allowed us to establish the precise analytical approximation to $${\text {Ch}}$$ Ch , which outperforms established analytical results. In this way the resource consuming numerical integration can be replaced by the derived approximation with higher accuracy. The obtained results are useful for various branches of atmospheric physics such as the calculations of optical depths in exponential atmospheres at large grazing angles, physical and chemical aeronomy, atmospheric optics, ionospheric modeling, and radiative transfer theory.

Let f be a holomorphic cusp form of weight k for SL(2, ℤ) with Fourier coefficients λf(n). We study the sum ∑n>0λf(n)ϕ(n/X)e(αn), where [Formula: see text]. It is proved that the sum is rapidly decaying for α close to a rational number a/q where q2 < X1-ε. The main techniques used in this paper include Dirichlet's rational approximation of real numbers, a Voronoi summation formula for SL(2, ℤ) and the asymptotic expansion for Bessel functions.

Uniform asymptotic expansions are derived for Whittaker’s confluent hypergeometric functions M κ , μ ( z ) and W κ , μ ( z ) , as well as the numerically satisfactory companion function W − κ , μ ( z   e − π i ) . The expansions are uniformly valid for μ → ∞ , 0 ≤ κ / μ ≤ 1 − δ < 1 and 0 ≤ arg ⁡ ( z ) ≤ π . By using appropriate connection and analytic continuation formulae, these expansions can be extended to all unbounded non-zero complex z . The approximations come from recent asymptotic expansions involving elementary functions and Airy functions, and explicit error bounds are either provided or available.

Recently, the present authors derived new asymptotic expansions for linear differential equations having a simple turning point. These involve Airy functions and slowly varying coefficient functions, and were simpler than previous approximations, in particular being computable to a high degree of accuracy. Here we present explicit error bounds for these expansions which only involve elementary functions, and thereby provide a simplification of the bounds associated with the classical expansions of Olver.
