V. Berry and C. J. Howls (Berry and Howls, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 434 (1991) 657--675). Using these representations, we obtain a number of properties of the large order asymptotic expansions of the Hankel and Bessel functions due to Debye, including explicit and realistic error bounds, asymptotics for the late coefficients, exponentially improved asymptotic expansions, and the smooth transition of the Stokes discontinuities.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2014-03-25T16:29:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "41A60", "30E15", "33C10", "34M40" ], "keywords": [ "bessel functions", "resurgence properties", "large order asymptotic expansions", "realistic error bounds", "steepest descents" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 45, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1309.2209N" } } }
