On the computation of special functions by using asymptotic expansions

The use of asymptotic representations of some special functions is discussed. Instead of using the asymptotic series expansions of the functions we consider auxiliary functions which can be computed…

Asymptotic Estimates of Elementary Probability Distributions

Several new asymptotic estimates (with precise error bounds) are derived for Poisson and binomial distributions as the parameters tend to infinity. The analytic methods used are also applicable to…

This paper gives fast and reliable algorithms for the numerical evaluation of the incomplete gamma functions and for auxiliary functions, such as functions related with the gamma function and error…

The generalized exponential integral

This paper concerns the role of the generalized exponential integral in recently-developed theories of exponentially-improved asymptotic expansions and the Stokes phenomenon. The first part describes…

Convergent expansions of the incomplete gamma functions in terms of elementary functions

We consider the incomplete gamma function γ(a,z) for ℜa > 0 and z ∈ ℂ. We derive several convergent expansions of z−aγ(a,z) in terms of exponentials and rational functions of z that hold uniformly in…

A numerical study of a new asymptotic expansion for the incomplete gamma function

In this paper we develop further an asymptotic expansion recently derived by Kowalenko and FVankel [6] for a particular Rummer function that is related to the incomplete gamma function. This…

On the resurgence properties of the uniform asymptotic expansion of the incomplete gamma function

We examine the resurgence properties of the coefficients 07.(77) appearing in the uniform asymptotic expansion of the incomplete gamma function. For the coefficients cr(T7), we give an asymptotic…

Asymptotic expansion of certain numbers related to the gamma function

An asymptotic expansion is derived for certain numbers which occur in the asymptotic expansion of the gannna function. This is done by application of the method of steepest descent to an integral…

Calculation of the Gamma Function by Stirling's Formula

In this paper, we derive a simple error estimate for the Stirling formula and also give numerical coefficients. Stirling's formula is: log r(s) - (s - 2) log s - s + 2 log 27r
