Abstract

In this paper the method of inner and outer sums [5], together with the computational power of computer symbolic manipulation, are used to extend to high order the asymptotic expansions in an appropriate limit of some infinite series arising in low Reynolds-number fluid mechanics. The enhanced applicability of the expansions is demonstrated, and the method is extended to treat alternating series.
