ASYMPTOTIC ANALYSIS FOR CONFLUENT HYPERGEOMETRIC FUNCTION IN TWO VARIABLES GIVEN BY DOUBLE INTEGRAL.

We study an integrable connection with irregular singularities along a normally crossing divisor. The connection is obtained from an integrable connection of regular singular type by a confluence, and has irregular singularities along x = ∞ and y = ∞. Solutions are expressed by a double integral of Euler type with resonances among the exponents in the integrand. We specify twisted cycles that give main asymptotic behaviors in sectorial domains around (∞,∞). Then we obtain linear relations among the twisted cycles, and get an explicit expression of the Stokes multiplier. The methods to derive the asymptotic behaviors for double integrals and to get linear relations among twisted cycles in resonant case, which we developed in this paper, seem to be new.
