§10.57 Uniform Asymptotic Expansions for Large Order

Asymptotic expansions for \mathsf{j}_{n}\left((n+\tfrac{1}{2})z\right), \mathsf{y}_{n}\left((n+\tfrac{1}{2})z\right), {\mathsf{h}^{(1)}_{n}}\left((n+\tfrac{1}{2})z\right), {\mathsf{h}^{(2)}_{n}}\left((n+\tfrac{1}{2})z\right), {\mathsf{i}^{(1)}_{n}}\left((n+\tfrac{1}{2})z\right), and \mathsf{k}_{n}\left((n+\tfrac{1}{2})z\right) as n\to\infty that are uniform with respect to z can be obtained from the results given in §§10.20 and 10.41 by use of the definitions (10.47.3)–(10.47.7) and (10.47.9). Subsequently, for {\mathsf{i}^{(2)}_{n}}\left((n+\tfrac{1}{2})z\right) the connection formula (10.47.11) is available.

For the corresponding expansion for \mathsf{j}_{n}'\left((n+\tfrac{1}{2})z\right) use

Similarly for the expansions of the derivatives of the other six functions.
