The Remainders in the Asymptotic Expansions of Certain Bessel Functions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
The usual methods of investigation of asymptotic expansions of the various types of Bessel Functions show that the remainder is less in absolute value than the first term neglected. A more refined result was obtained by Stieltjes for K0(x) and certain other functions of order zero; he found an asymptotic series for the remainder and showed that the error due to stopping at one of the smallest terms is of the order of half the first term neglected. Watson notes that it would be of some interest to obtain corresponding results for functions of any order, and this is the object of this note. The method is quite different from that of Stieltjes.
