Singularity analysis of generating functions

TL;DR: This work presents a class of methods by which one can translate, on a term-by-term basis, an asymptotic expansion of a function around a dominant singularity into a corresponding asymPTotic expansion for the Taylor coefficients of the function.

Stirling Behavior is Asymptotically Normal

TL;DR: The Stirling numbers of the second kind are asymptotically normal as mentioned in this paper, which is similar to results achieved by Feller [1] and Goncarov [2] for other combinatorial distributions.

Saddle-point Methods for the Multinomial Distribution

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extend the saddle-point theorem in various directions and give some applications to distributions connected with the multinomial distribution, especially to the distribution of $\chi^2$ and to the maximum entry in a multINomial distribution.
