We can find in the literature several convergent and/or asymptotic expansions of the Pearcey integral P(x, y) in different regions of the complex variables x and y, but they do not cover the whole complex x and y ...

We revisit the product convolution semigroup of probability densities ec(t); c > 0 on the positive half-line with moments (n!)c and determine the asymptotic behaviour of ec for large and small t > 0. This shows that (n!)c ...

This paper continues the investigation initiated in [Lopez, 2013]. We consider the asymptotic method designed by F. Olver [Olver, 1974] for linear differential equations of the second order containing a large (asymptotic) ...

We consider the second-order linear difference equation y(n+2)−2ay(n+1)−Λ2y(n)=g(n)y(n)+f(n)y(n+1) , where Λ is a large complex parameter, a≥0 and g and f are sequences of complex numbers. Two methods are proposed to find ...

We consider the Bessel functions Jν (z) and Yν (z) for ν > −1/2 and z ≥ 0. We derive a convergent expansion of Jν (z) in terms of the derivatives of (sin z)/z, and a convergent expansion of Yν (z) in terms of derivatives ...

In this paper we investigate the extension of the multiple Erd elyi-Kober fractional integral operator of Kiryakova to arbitrary complex values of parameters by the way of regularization. The regularization involves ...

Zernike polynomials are commonly used to represent the wavefront phase on circular optical apertures, since they form a complete and orthonormal basis on the unit circle. Here, we present a generalization of this Zernike ...

In Ferreira and López [Asymptotic expansions of the Hurwitz–Lerch zeta function. J Math Anal Appl. 2004;298(1):210–224], the authors derived an asymptotic expansion of the Lerch's transcendent Φ(z,s,a) for large |a|, valid ...

We propose systems of orthogonal functions qn to represent optical transfer functions (OTF) characterized by including the diffraction-limited OTF as the first basis function q0 OTF perfect. To this end, we apply a powerful ...

We present some comments to the paper 'Orthogonal basis with a conicoid first mode for shape specification of optical surfaces: comment'.
