§10.70 Zeros

Asymptotic approximations for large zeros are as follows. Let μ=4⁢ν2 and f⁡(t) denote the formal series

10.70.1 μ−116⁢t+μ−132⁢t2+(μ−1)⁢(5⁢μ+19)1536⁢t3+3⁢(μ−1)2512⁢t4+⋯.

If m is a large positive integer, then

10.70.2 zeros of berν⁡x ∼2⁢(t−f⁡(t)),
t=(m−12⁢ν−38)⁢π,
zeros of beiν⁡x ∼2⁢(t−f⁡(t)),
t=(m−12⁢ν+18)⁢π,
zeros of kerν⁡x ∼2⁢(t+f⁡(−t)),
t=(m−12⁢ν−58)⁢π,
zeros of keiν⁡x ∼2⁢(t+f⁡(−t)),
t=(m−12⁢ν−18)⁢π.

In the case ν=0, numerical tabulations (Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, Table 9.12)) indicate that each of (10.70.2) corresponds to the mth zero of the function on the left-hand side. For the next six terms in the series (10.70.1) see MacLeod (2002a).
