Synopsis

In an earlier paper [6] we showed that if q ϵ CN[0, ε) for some ε > 0, then the Titchmarsh–Weyl m(λ) function associated with the second order linear differential equation

has the asymptotic expansion

as |A| →∞ in a sector of the form 0 < δ < arg λ < π – δ.

We show that if the real valued function q admits the expansion

in a neighbourhood of 0, then
