Abstract

We use a Mellin-Barnes integral representation for the Lerch transcendent $\Phi(z,s,a)$ to obtain large $z$ asymptotic approximations. The simplest divergent asymptotic approximation terminates in the case that $s$ is an integer. For non-integer $s$ the asymptotic approximations consists of the sum of two series. The first one is in powers of $(\ln z)^{-1}$ and the second one is in powers of $z^{-1}$. Although the second series converges, it is completely hidden in the divergent tail of the first series. We use resummation and optimal truncation to make the second series visible.
