Corrections
and clarifications as of Nov. 12, 2009.
This is the complete
list I have so far, including the smallest
changes made since last year.
No major problem has been reported, but many
typos, incorrect
constants,
undefined symbols, too hard exercises
etc. have been.
Many of these are obvious, but some can be quite confusing.
Special thanks to
B.L.J. Braaksma, G. Luo and H. Park.
I also added further
explanations at places were the text was too terse. For convenience,
the right link, "See",
sends to a corrected page.
I would
appreciate
receiving information any errors or unclear points at

be "L'_\omega/L'_1". See
- page 144: second proof "<<" should be " >>".
Exercise 4.230 "y_0" should be "\tilde{y}_0". See

asymptotic series of LY_0 (note that \tilde{y_0}=\tilde{y} in (4.56))";
l

(5.30); clarify: "cf. (5.13)" at the end of the next sentence. See

"arg(-N_{jk}") should be "arg(N_{jk})". l. 7 "Satisfy (1) and (2)
" should be
"Satisfy (5.62)".
- page 158 on l. -2 it should be "d_j={x:arg(x)[...]"
- page 159 l.6: l. 6 the supplementary restriction reads better as
follows: "$\arg\gamma\in(\max$
$\{\arg\lambda_j:\arg\lambda_j<0\},\min\{\arg\lambda_j:\arg\lambda_j>0\})$,
now with $\arg$ in $(-\pi,\pi)$".

clarifies the argument. See
- page 199 I added more details before (5.275). In
(5.276), g(x,y)= the sum in the second equality. Then the second
equality is not needed anymore. See

changes. In (5.333) replace = by \le. the last exponent "m-1"
should be "-m+1". l. -3

should have been outside the parenthesis. See

replace "\xi".
- page 216 the rhs of (2.16) should be "-(xi/5)F'{k-1}-3/5F_{k-1}+3
sum(F_{j1}F_{j2}F_{j3}).

clarifying the notation. See

6.57".
- page 230 A different Hille book is refered to
in l.8.
- page 231 "for to C=-12" in the caption to Fig. 6.4 should
be deleted. First line after figure, the notation has been better
explained. See
- page 239 l -3 add "in [21]" at the end of the line.
- page 240 A paragraph was added before Condition 7.23, to explain
the notation. See
- page 242 Paragraph in middle of the page: the four authors should
be replaced by the second one, "B.L.J. Braaksma".
