Lerch Asymptotics

We use a Mellin-Barnes integral representation for the Lerch transcendent (, , ) to obtain large asymptotic approximations. The simplest divergent asymptotic approximation terminates in the case that is an integer. For non-integer , the asymptotic approximations consist of the sum of two series. T...

description We use a Mellin-Barnes integral representation for the Lerch transcendent (, , ) to obtain large asymptotic approximations. The simplest divergent asymptotic approximation terminates in the case that is an integer. For non-integer , the asymptotic approximations consist of the sum of two series. The first one is in powers of (ln )⁻¹ and the second one is in powers of ⁻¹. Although the second series converges, it is completely hidden in the divergent tail of the first series. We use resummation and optimal truncation to make the second series visible.
