We derive asymptotic series for the expansion coefficients of a function in terms of the Pagani functions, which occur in the boundary layer solutions of the Klein-Kramers equation. The results enable us to determine the density profile in the stationary solution of this equation near an absorbing wall from the numerically determined velocity distribution at the wall, with an accuracy of about 2 \%. We also obtain information about the analytic behavior of the density profile: this profile increases near the wall with the square root of the distance to the wall. Finally, the asymptotic analysis leads to an understanding of the slow convergence of variational approximations to the solution of the absorbing-wall problem and of the exponents that occur when one studies the variational approximations to various quantities of interest as functions of the number of terms in the variational ansatz. This is used to obtain a better variational estimate for the density at the wall.
