Asymptotic Expansion of Uniform Distribution on a Circle

A uniform asymptotic expansion for the incomplete gamma functions revisited

A new uniform asymptotic expansion for the incomplete gamma function Γ(a, z) valid for large values of z was given by the author in J. Comput. Appl. Math. 148 (2002) 323–339. This expansion contains a complementary error function of an argument measuring transition across the point z = a, with easily computable coefficients that do not involve a removable singularity in the neighbourhood of thi...

Uniform Asymptotic Expansion of the Generalized Bremmer Series

The Bremmer coupling series solution of the wave equation, in generally inhomogeneous media, requires the introduction of pseudo-differential operators. In this paper, in two dimensions, uniform asymptotic expansions of the Schwartz kernels of these operators are derived. Also, we derive a uniform asymptotic expansion of the one-way propagator appearing in the series. We focus on designing clos...

Uniform Asymptotic Expansion for the Incomplete Beta Function

In [Temme N.M., Special functions. An introduction to the classical functions of mathematical physics, A Wiley-Interscience Publication, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., New York, 1996, Section 11.3.3.1] a uniform asymptotic expansion for the incomplete beta function was derived. It was not obvious from those results that the expansion is actually an asymptotic expansion. We derive a remainder estimate...

Record Range of Uniform Distribution

We consider a sequence of independent and identicaly distributed (iid) random variables with absolutely continuous distribution function F(x) and probability density function (pdf) f(x). Let Rnl be the largest observation after observing nth record and R(ns) be the smallest observation after observing the nth record. Then we say Wnr = Rnl− R(ns), n > 1, as the nth record range. We will c...
