Abstract

The absolutely convergent exponential sum S"p(@q;m)=@?n=0~^'exp(-n/m-i@qe^-^p^n^/^m)@q0,p0 is studied for m-+~ and fixed p when the parameter @q is allowed to become large such that @q/m remains finite. This situation corresponds, in general, to the trace in the complex plane of the partial sums of S"p(@q;m) consisting of a multiple spiral structure. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the accuracy of the expansion.
