Abstract: We analyze the sequence of polynomials defined by the differential-difference equation $P_{n+1}(x)=P_n^{prime}(x)+x(n+1)P_n(x)$ asymptotically as $noinfty$. The polynomials $P_n(x)$ arise in the computation of higher derivatives of the inverse error function $operatornameinverf(x)$. We use singularity analysis and discrete versions of the WKB and ray methods and give numerical results showing the accuracy of our formulas.
