Asymptotic expansions of several series and their application

Abstract

Asymptotic expansions of series $\sum_{k=0}^\infty \epsilon^k(k+a)^\gamma e^{-(k+a)^\alpha x}$ and $\sum_{k=0}^\infty \epsilon^k(k+a)^\gamma / (x(k+a)^\alpha+1)^\mu}$ in powers of $x$ as $x\to+0$ are found, where $\epsilon=1$ or $\epsilon=-1$. These expansions are applied to obtain precise inequalities for Mathieu series. Keywords: Asymptotic expansion, residues, generalized Mathieu series, inequalities.
