Hayman Admissible Functions in Several Variables

Abstract. An alternative generalisation of Hayman’s admissible functions ([17]) to functions in several variables is developed and a multivariate asymptotic expansion for the coefficients is proved. In contrast to existing generalisations of Hayman admissibility ([7]), most of the closure properties which are satisfied by Hayman’s admissible functions can be shown to hold for this class of func...
