Radial spheroidal wavefunctions are functions of four variables, usually denoted by m , n , x , and γ, the last of which is known as the size parameter. This parameter becomes complex when the problem of scattering of a sound pulse by a spheroid is treated using a Laplace transform with respect to time together with the method of separation of variables. Several asymptotic approximations, involving modified Bessel functions, are developed and analyzed.
