Abstract:

If a function g(n) behaves as g(n) →n in the limit n →∞, formulas in 1/n expansion are formally converted into expansions in powers of 1/g(n). A criterion for the possibility of this modification is discussed, being referred to the existence of saddle points. It is shown that an expansion parameter 1/(n+m) or 2/ [ (n+m)+√(n+m)2-4B ] is allowed, whereas (n+C)/(n2+An+B) is not allowed in general. As an application, an interpolation formula which is exact at n=-2 and yields 1/n2 terms in the limit n →∞ is derived in the three-dimensional case. The result for r thus obtained leads to a fairly good agreement with numerical values, as compared to the original 1/n expansion.
