Many authors have proved results deducing an asymptotic expansion of

for large from the behaviour of f(t), when f(t) is regular in an appropriate part of the complex t-plane. For example, if, for some k > 0 and some Am, αm

for all large such that R(t) > C, then, as ⃗ ∞ in a suitable sector in the z-plane, we have

where Z is an appropriate value of z1/z.
