For $\\Re b\\le 1$ we derive a convergent expansion of$z^{-a}B_{z}(a,b)$ in terms of the function $(1-z)^b$ and of rational functionsof $z$ that is uniformly valid for $z$ in any compact set in$\\mathbb{C}\\setminus[1,\\infty)$. When $-b\\in \\mathbb{N}\\cup\\{0\\}$, the expansionalso contains a logarithmic term of the form $\\log(1-z)$. For $\\Re b\\ge 1$ wederive a convergent expansion of $z^{-a}(1-z)^bB_{z}(a,b)$ in terms of thefunction $(1-z)^b$ and of rational functions of $z$ that is uniformly valid for$z$ in any compact set in the exterior of the circle $\\vert z-1\\vert=r$ forarbitrary $r>0$. The expansions are accompanied by realistic error bounds. Somenumerical experiments show the accuracy of the approximations.2018http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/8778910.1553/etna_vol48s450http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/87789oai:zaguan.unizar.es:87789info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER/E24-17Rinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/IUMA/MTM2017-83490-PELECTRONIC TRANSACTIONS ON NUMERICAL ANALYSIS 48 (2018), 450-461All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
