Remark 4.7.

We have chosen a special ray (η1,η2)=(−1​b,−1​b)(\eta_{1},\eta_{2})=(\sqrt{-1}b,\sqrt{-1}b) to calculate the asymptotic value of βp​3+βp​4\beta_{p3}+\beta_{p4}. More generally 𝔇1,𝔇2,𝔇3\mathfrak{D}_{1},\mathfrak{D}_{2},\mathfrak{D}_{3} divide the plane ℝy1,y22\mathbb{R}^{2}_{y_{1},y_{2}} into three sectors, and the asymptotic value of function

βp​3+βp​4=−2​π​i​e2​π​i​ηp1−e2​π​i​η1−e2​π​i​η2+Kp​(a)\beta_{p3}+\beta_{p4}=\frac{-2\pi ie^{2\pi i\eta_{p}}}{1-e^{2\pi i\eta_{1}}-e^{2\pi i\eta_{2}}}+K_{p}(a)

along the ray {(y1,y2)=se→ for s>0}\{(y_{1},y_{2})=s\vec{e}\text{ for }s>0\} specified by a directional vector e→\vec{e} depends on which sector e→\vec{e} belongs to, and can have a jumping discontinuity as we cross 𝔇i\mathfrak{D}_{i}. This is known as Stokes phenomenon in complex analysis.
