- For further information on the discovery of the asymptotics of
the coefficients of exp(a/(1-x)^rho) see the following two papers
of E.M. Wright:
- The coefficients of certain power series.
J. London Math. Soc. 7 256-262 (1932)
- On the coefficients of power series having exponential
singularities. (Second paper).
J. London Math. Soc. 24 304-309 (1950).
I am indebted to Andreas Weiermann for relaying this information
(provided by Phillipe Flajolet) to me.
Some Outstanding Open Problems
- Find an example of a number system in RT_rho whose generating
function diverges at rho with the property that some partition set
does not have asymptotic density.
- Find an example of a number system in RV_alpha whose generating
function diverges at alpha with the property that some partition
set does not have asymptotic density.
- Give a multiplicative analog of the results of Woods.
