Dn (x)= 2h-nine-where w*(x)= and| S «(aO|< 3* 35..., when n> 2; and ic,,(0)= 0 or£ &/»(where—1< 9< 1), according as n is odd or even. In my former paper, I shewed that Adamoffs investigation would be extended to Blh {z), when z is complex, provided that\l (z)\is not too large: and this result made it easy to give a formal proof of a theorem enunciated by Hermite and Whittaker, concerning the expansibility of an arbitrary analytic function in the form 2 anDn (,?):—a result analogous to Neumann's expansions in series of Legendre polynomials and Bessel functions.In this paper, I investigate various types of asymptotic formulae and expansions of Dn (z), hy the method of steepest descents; the results contained in the paper are therefore to be associated with those previously obtained by Debyet and by myself I for Bessel functions.
