Error bounds and exponential improvement for Hermite's asymptotic expansion for the Gamma function

Abstract: In this paper we reconsider the asymptotic expansion of the Gamma function with shifted argument, which is the generalization of the well-known Stirling series. To our knowledge, no explicit error bounds exist in the literature for this expansion. Therefore, the first aim of this paper is to extend the known error estimates of Stirling's series to this general case. The second aim is to give exponentially-improved asymptotics for this asymptotic series.

“…We need the asymptotics of the Gamma function too, whose Stokes phenomena is similar to that of the G-Barnes function above, with the Stokes lines also at ±π/2. One difference is the different decay of the S k (θ) coefficients (Stokes multipliers), where the quadratic decay in the G-Barnes is a linear decay in the Gamma function case [22]. More crucially, there is a sign difference in the respective Stokes multipliers, as we show in what follows.…”

“…Therefore, the large z behavior of the special functions is required, involving naturally the whole complex plane, which leads to consideration of Stokes and anti-Stokes lines and the appearance of exponentially small contributions when crossing them. We can analyze the observables in these terms by using the exponential asymptotics of Barnes and Gamma functions [21,22,23]. Therefore, this theory is suitable to further explore ideas of resurgence and resummation, which have become a subject of considerable interest in the study of gauge theories in recent years (see [23,24], for example, [25,26,27] for supersymmetric gauge theories and localization and [28] for a review).…”
