    It was shown that numerous (known and new) results involving various special functions, such as the Hurwitz and Lerch zeta functions and Legendre chi function, could be established in a simple, general and unified manner. In this way, among others, we recovered the Wang and Williams-Zhang generalizations of the classical Eisenstein summation formula and obtained their previously unknown companion formulae.

    High-precision computation of uniform asymptotic expansions for special functions

    In this dissertation, we investigate new methods to obtain uniform asymptotic expansions for the numerical evaluation of special functions to high-precision. We shall first present the theoretical and computational fundamental aspects required for the development and ultimately implementation of such methods. Applying some of these methods, we obtain efficient new convergent and uniform expansions for numerically evaluating the confluent hypergeometric functions and the Lerch transcendent at high-precision. In addition, we also investigate a new scheme of computation for the generalized exponential integral, obtaining on the fastest and most robust implementations in double-precision floating-point arithmetic. In this work, we aim to combine new developments in asymptotic analysis with fast and effective open-source implementations. These implementations are comparable and often faster than current open-source and commercial stateof-the-art software for the evaluation of special functions.Esta tesis presenta nuevos m茅todos para obtener expansiones uniformes asint贸ticas, para la evaluaci贸n num茅rica de funciones especiales en alta precisi贸n. En primer lugar, se introducen fundamentos te贸ricos y de car谩cter computacional necesarios para el desarrollado y posterior implementaci贸n de tales m茅todos. Aplicando varios de dichos m茅todos, se obtienen nuevas expansiones uniformes convergentes para la evaluaci贸n num茅rica de las funciones hipergeom茅tricas confluentes y de la funci贸n transcendental de Lerch. Por otro lado, se estudian nuevos esquemas de computo para evaluar la integral exponencial generalizada, desarrollando una de las implementaciones m谩s eficientes y robustas en aritm茅tica de punto flotante de doble precisi贸n. En este trabajo, se combinan nuevos desarrollos en an谩lisis asint贸tico con implementaciones rigurosas, distribuidas en c贸digo abierto. Las implementaciones resultantes son comparables, y en ocasiones superiores, a las soluciones comerciales y de c贸digo abierto actuales, que representan el estado de la t茅cnica en el campo de la evaluaci贸n de funciones especiales
