Incomplete beta and gamma functions (error functions, probability integral, Fresnel integrals) (33B20) Numerical approximation and evaluation of special functions (33F05)

Review text

The authors investigate the following generalized incomplete gamma function \[ \Gamma(\alpha, x;b)= \int^\infty_x t^{\alpha-1} e^{-t- b/t}dt,\quad x>0,\quad \text{Re}(b)\geq 0,\quad b\neq 0, \] towards obtaining asymptotic expansions when \(x\to\infty\), and \(\alpha\) is unrestricted for negative values. For \(b= -i\omega (\omega>0)\), the asymptotic expansions of the following functions are considered: \[ C_\Gamma(\alpha, x;\omega)= \int^\infty_x t^{\alpha-1} e^{-t}\cos\Biggl({\omega\over t}\Biggr) dt\quad\text{and }S_\Gamma(\alpha, x;\omega)= \int^\infty_x t^{-\alpha- 1} e^{-t}\sin\Biggl({\omega\over t}\Biggr) dt. \] Closed form expressions are also considered for certain values of \(\alpha\).
