Abstract

We consider the asymptotic expansion of the sum
Sp(a;w)=n=1eanpnw
as a0 in |arga|<\fsπ for arbitrary finite p> and w>0.
Our attention is concentrated mainly on the case when p and w are both even integers, where the expansion consists of a {\it finite} algebraic expansion together with a sequence of increasingly subdominant exponential expansions. This exponentially small component produces a transformation for Sp(a;w) analogous to the well-known Poisson-Jacobi
transformation for the sum with p=2 and w=0.  Numerical results are given to illustrate the accuracy of the expansion obtained.
