ASYMPTOTICS FOR THE KUMMER FUNCTION OF BOSE PLASMAS

The asymptotic expansions for the Kummer function obtained in the stud y of the linear response of magnetized Bose plasmas at T = 0 K are pre sented for large and small values of its parameter, thereby displaying the function's asymptotic nonuniformity. The large parameter expansio n plays a determining role in the behavior of these Bose systems in th e limit that the external magnetic field B --> 0. This particular expa nsion is generalized herein and its validity tested by determining the asymptotic expansion for the Hurwitz zeta function.
