The Gauss Circle Problem asymptotic in dimension
The circle problem in $k$ dimensions: "For $n>0$, how many points $z\in \ \mathbb{Z}^k$ have $\|z\|^2\leq n$?"
For large $n$, the answer is $\approx n^{k/2}\cdot \operatorname{Vol}(B^k(0,1))+\...

Does this function have any exponential growth?
Has anyone seen any function of the following type?
$$
g(x):=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{x^n}{n!}\exp\left(-\frac{a^n}{x}\right),\quad a>1,x\ge 0.
$$
The question is whether for some constant $c>...

Asymptotics of an integral requested
Given an integer $n\geq2$, consider the following integral
$$I_n:=\int_0^1nx^{n-1}\sqrt{\left\vert \frac{\log(1-x)}{\log n}\right\vert} \, dx.$$
QUESTION. Is this true? It appears to be so.
$$\lim_{n\...

Estimating a sum over set partitions
Let $[n]:=\{1,\dots,n\}$. Fix a set partition $\rho$ of $[n]$, with an abuse of notation we shall use $\rho\vdash [n]$.
I would like to estimate the following alternating sum.
QUESTION. Is this true?

Proof of Szegö asymptotic theorem
Consider the truncated exponential series
$$P_N(z) = \sum_{n= 0}^N \frac{z^n}{n!}$$
The zeros of this series have been studied by Szëgo and others (see e.g. here). He established an asymptotic for the ...

Closeness of a rational approximation
What is
$$p_*:=\inf\big\{p\in\mathbb R\colon\,\inf_{n\in\mathbb N}n^p\,\inf_{k\in\mathbb N}
|2\sqrt{3n}-9\pi/4-k\pi|>0\big\},$$
where $\mathbb N:=\{1,2,\dots\}$?
In other words, I would like to ...

Generalization of regularly varying functions
A continuous function $L :\mathbb{R}_+ \to \mathbb{R}_+$ is called regularly varying (at infinity) if for all $a > 0$,
$$
\lim_{x\to \infty} \frac{L(ax)}{L(x)}= g(a)
$$
for some function $g(a)&...

Asymptotic inverses and de Bruijn conjugates (etc.) for complex-valued functions
I recently got my hands on a copy of Regular Variation by Bingham, Goldie, and Teugels ("BGT"), and it's been an absolute revelation for my research. The thing is, my current work centers ...

Taming families of rate functions
$\newcommand\R{\mathbb R}$Let us say that a function $r\colon\R_+\to\R_+$ is a rate function if $r$ is nondecreasing and $r(x)\to\infty$ as $x\to\infty$.
Let us say that a family $(r_j)_{j\in J}$ of ...

Asymptotics for certain integrals
I stumbled on the following problem, if you can see a way through it.
Let $x$ be a real variable and fix a real value $\frac14\leq\nu\leq\frac34$.
QUESTION. For $x\rightarrow0$, does there exist a ...
