Voros coefficients of the generalized hypergeometric differential equations with a large parameter are defined and their explicit forms are given for the origin and for the infinity. It is shown that they are Borel summable in some specified regions in the space of parameters and their Borel sums in the regions are given.

A class of second-order linear differential equations with a large parameter u is considered. It is shown that Liouville–Green type expansions for solutions can be expressed using factorial series in the parameter, and that such expansions converge for Re ( u ) > 0, uniformly for the independent variable lying in a certain subdomain of the domain of asymptotic validity. The theory is then applied to obtain convergent expansions for modified Bessel functions of large order.

Exact analytical solutions of certain second-order linear differential equations are often employed as approximate solutions of other second-order differential equations when the solutions of this latter equation cannot be expressed in terms of the standard transcendental functions. The classical exposition of this method has been given by Jeffreys (6); approximate solutions of the equation (using Jeffreys's notation)are given in terms of solutions either of the equationor of the equationwhere h is a large parameter. A complete history of this technique is given in the author's recent text An introduction to phase-integral methods (Heading (5)).
