We examine the exponentially improved asymptotic expansion of the Lerch zeta function $L(\lambda,a,s)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty \exp (2\pi ni\lambda)/(n+a)^s$ for large complex values of $a$, with $\lambda$ and $s$ regarded as parameters. It is shown that an infinite number of subdominant exponential terms switch on across the Stokes lines $\arg\,a=\pm\pi/2$. In addition, it is found that the transition across the upper and lower imaginary $a$-axes is associated, in general, with unequal scales…

New methods to obtain uniform asymptotic expansions for the numerical evaluation of special functions to high-precision are investigated, obtaining efficient new convergent and uniform expansions for numerically evaluating the confluent hypergeometric functions and the Lerch transcendent at high- Precision.
