Journal ArticleDOI
Bessel functions of purely imaginary order, with an application to second-order linear differential equations having a large parameter
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived asymptotic expansions for the solutions in terms of the numerically satisfactory Bessel functions of purely imaginary order when their order is purely imaginary and their argument is real and positive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Convergent Liouville-Green expansions for second-order linear differential equations, with an application to Bessel functions
TL;DR: In this article, a class of second-order linear differential equations with a large parameter u is considered, and it is shown that Liouville-Green type expansions for solutions can be expressed using factorial series in the parameter, and such expansions converge for Re (u) > 0, uniformly for the independent variable lying in a certain subdomain of the domain of asymptotic validity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uniform asymptotic expansions for Whittaker's confluent hypergeometric functions
TL;DR: In this article, the asymptotic behavior of the Whittaker confluent hypergeometric functions $M{\kappa,\mu } (z)$ and $W{ \kappa \to \infty $, as well as their expansions in terms of Bessel and Airy functions are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conical functions with one or both parameters large
TL;DR: In this article, asymptotic expansions for conical Legendre functions of order µ and degree −½ + iτ are derived, where µ and τ are non-negative real parameters, and these expansions are uniformly valid for 0 ≦ µ ≦ Aτ (A an arbitrary positive constant).
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymptotic Solutions of Second-Order Linear Differential Equations having Almost Coalescent Turning Points, with an Application to the Incomplete Gamma Function
TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived asymptotic expansions for solutions of the differential equation d 2 W/dζ 2 = ( u 2 ζ 2 + βu + ψ( u, ζ))W, which are uniformly valid for u real and large, β bounded (real or complex), and £ lying in a well-defined bounded or unbounded complex domain, which contains the origin.
