- W137651949 abstract "The first part of this paper surveys the tools of asymptotic analysis that are presently available and those that are needed for the next stages of development of the asymptotic theory of special functions. Methods are grouped according to the number of free variables to which they achieve a uniform reduction. Topics include the approximation of functions defined parametrically by a definite integral or infinite sum, and approximate solutions of linear ordinary differential equations. The main areas in which work appears to be needed are (i) problems of confluence, that is, coalescing saddle points and singularities of integrals, or coalescing turning points and singularities of differential equations; (ii) rigorous error analysis. The second part of the paper discusses the more important special functions in increasing order of the total number of variables and parameters involved. Almost all asymptotic problems concerning special functions of one variable have been solved. For functions of two variables the problems are solved, or can be solved by use of existing asymptotic tools. It is in the case of functions depending on three variables (including parameters) that the most significant work can be expected in the immediate future. Two new asymptotic tools have been developed very recently, one for integrals with three coalescing saddle points, the other for second-order differential equations having two coalescing turning points. Applications of these tools are needed, as well as the development of similar tools for other three-variable problems involving confluence. As the total number of variables increases beyond three, our knowledge of the asymptotic behavior of the special functions becomes more fragmentary. It will undoubtedly be many years before we have complete knowledge of the asymptotic behavior of any of the functions of four variables, including for example, the hypergeometric function F(a,b;c;z)." @default.
