Abstract

We examine the sum of modified Bessel functions with argument depending quadratically on the summation index given by Sν(a)=∑n≥ 1 ((1)/(2) an2) Kν(an2) (|arg a|<π/2) as the parameter |a|→ 0. It is shown that the positive real a-axis is a Stokes line, where an infinite number of increasingly subdominant exponentially small terms present in the asymptotic expansion undergo a smooth, but rapid, transition as this ray is crossed. Particular attention is devoted to the details of the expansion on the Stokes line as a→ 0 through positive values. Numerical results are presented to support the asymptotic theory.
