But I am interested in getting an asymptotic expansion of the form given in Abrahamson and Stegun (as shown below). How can I get these type of expansions with Mathematica? I would appreciate any help that I can get.
Thanks a lot for your reply. Yes, this is the solution that I was looking for. As an extra bonus, I can see the use of the SeriesCoefficient command also. Is there any reason why the general form is not given by mathematica for expansion around Infinity?
I have another question which does not primarily relate to Mathematica. In the fomulae from Abrahamson and Stegun, I see the following condition attached :
| arg z| < 3*Pi/4
Would appreciate it if you could explain the relevance of this condition. Does it become relevant only when z is a complex number? All the better if you coud do this with Mathematica.
Thanks.
To see the relevance of the argument restriction, try taking the series at -infinity. My guess is the A&S formulae are intended to hold in as general a region as possible, so they are in a sense giving a “sector” at complex infinity.
I’m not understanding your question regarding the general form for expansion around infinity.
