Synopsis

The confluent hypergeometric function Φ2(β,β′, γ, x, y) satisfies a system of partial differential equations which possesses the singular loci x = 0, y = 0, x − y = 0 of regular type and x = ∞, y = ∞ of irregular type. Near x = ∞ (|y| is bounded) and near y = ∞ (|x| is bounded), asymptotic expansions and Stokes multipliers of linearly independent solutions of the system are obtained. By a connection formula, the asymptotic behaviour of Φ2(β,β′, γ, x, y) itself is also clarified near these singular loci.
