Integral representations are derived for the parabolic cylinder functions U(a, x), V (a, x) andW (a, x) and their derivatives. The new integrals will be used in numerical algorithms based on quadrature. They follow from contour integrals in the complex plane, by using methods from asymptotic analysis (saddle point and steepest descent methods), and are stable starting points for evaluating the ...

A new class of integrable Newton systems in Rn is presented. They are characterized by the existence of two quadratic integrals of motion of so-called cofactor type, and are therefore called cofactor pair systems. This class includes as special cases conservative systems separable in elliptic or parabolic coordinates, as well as many Newton systems previously derived as reductions of soliton hi...

Computer algebra algorithms are developed for evaluating the coefficients in Airy-type asymptotic expansions that are obtained from integrals with a large parameter. The coefficients are defined from recursive schemes obtained from integration by parts. An application is given for the Weber parabolic cylinder function. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification: 41A60, 33C10, 33C15, 33F05, 65D20.

We derive global analytic representations of fundamental solutions for a class of linear parabolic systems with full coupling of first order derivative terms where coefficients may depend on space and time. Pointwise convergence of the global analytic expansion is proved. This leads to analytic representations of solutions of initial-boundary problems of first and second type in terms of convol...
