Proof.

The proof is straightforward. For example, we only prove

(A.28) Φ♯⁡(β,α,y)∼Γ⁡(α)Γ⁡(α−β)⋅(−y)−β\Ku(\fb,\fa,y)\sim\frac{\Gamma(\alpha)}{\Gamma(\alpha-\beta)}\cdot(-y)^{-\beta}

as y→−∞y\to-\infty. The calculations of the remaining cases are the same. We make change of variables and let u=−y​tu=-yt, then

Φ♯⁡(β,α,y)\displaystyle\Ku(\fb,\fa,y) =Γ⁡(α)Γ⁡(β)​Γ​(α−β)​∫01ey​t​tβ−1​(1−t)α−β−1​𝑑t\displaystyle=\frac{\Gamma(\fa)}{\Gamma(\fb)\Gamma(\fa-\fb)}\int_{0}^{1}e^{yt}t^{\fb-1}(1-t)^{\fa-\fb-1}dt
(A.29) =Γ⁡(α)Γ⁡(β)​Γ​(α−β)⋅(−y)−β⋅∫0−ye−uuβ−1(1+uy)α−β−1du.\displaystyle=\frac{\Gamma(\fa)}{\Gamma(\fb)\Gamma(\fa-\fb)}\cdot(-y)^{-\fb}\cdot\int_{0}^{-y}e^{-u}u^{\fb-1}\Big(1+\frac{u}{y}\Big)^{\fa-\fb-1}du.

Since α−β−1>0\fa-\fb-1>0 and −1≤uy≤0-1\leq\frac{u}{y}\leq 0, it is obvious (1+uy)α−β−1≤1(1+\frac{u}{y})^{\fa-\fb-1}\leq 1. Hence dominated convergence theorem implies

(A.30) limy→−∞∫0−ye−u​uβ−1​(1+uy)α−β−1​𝑑u=∫0∞e−u​uβ−1​𝑑u=Γ⁡(β).\lim\limits_{y\to-\infty}\int_{0}^{-y}e^{-u}u^{\fb-1}\Big(1+\frac{u}{y}\Big)^{\fa-\fb-1}du=\int_{0}^{\infty}e^{-u}u^{\fb-1}du=\Gamma(\beta).

Therefore, as y→−∞y\to-\infty,

(A.31) Φ♯(β,α,y)∼Γ⁡(α)Γ⁡(α−β)⋅(−y)−β.\Ku(\fb,\fa,y)\sim\frac{\Gamma(\fa)}{\Gamma(\fa-\fb)}\cdot(-y)^{-\fb}.
