The resurgence properties of the large order asymptotics of the Anger--Weber function II

Abstract

In this paper, we derive a new representation for the Anger--Weber function, employing the reformulation of the method of steepest descents by C. J. Howls (Howls, Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A 439 (1992) 373--396). As a consequence of this representation, we deduce a number of properties of the large order asymptotic expansion of the Anger--Weber function, including explicit and realistic error bounds, asymptotic approximations for the late coefficients, exponentially improved asymptotic expansions, and the smooth transition of the Stokes discontinuities.
