§28.26(i) Goldstein’s Expansions

Denote

28.26.1 Mcm(3)⁡(z,h) =ei⁢ϕ(π⁢h⁢cosh⁡z)1/2⁢(Fcm⁡(z,h)−i⁢Gcm⁡(z,h)),
28.26.2 i⁢Msm+1(3)⁡(z,h) =ei⁢ϕ(π⁢h⁢cosh⁡z)1/2⁢(Fsm⁡(z,h)−i⁢Gsm⁡(z,h)),

where

28.26.3 ϕ=2⁢h⁢sinh⁡z−(m+12)⁢arctan⁡(sinh⁡z).

Then as h→+∞ with fixed z in ℜ⁡z>0 and fixed s=2⁢m+1,

The asymptotic expansions of Fsm⁡(z,h) and Gsm⁡(z,h) in the same circumstances are also given by the right-hand sides of (28.26.4) and (28.26.5), respectively.

For additional terms see Goldstein (1927).
