Fixed-argument growth of spherical Hankel functions

ID: fixed-argument-growth-of-spherical-hankel-functions

For fixed and large integer order, while is negligible. Stirling's formula gives , proving the displayed asymptotic. In particular its magnitude is bounded above and below by constant multiples of . This two-sided comparison is stronger than a one-sided big-O estimate and is what converts a finite spherical trace norm into a weighted condition on far-field coefficients.
