. Note that both of them are convergent in a very
large region of

namely for

multiplied by a
single-valued function of

and
are the same,
which implies that these two are identical up to a constant
multiple. Therefore, we set
In the region

solutions in powers of

Then, by comparing each integer power of

can be any
integer, and the factor
should be independent of the choice of
. Although this fact
is not manifest from Equation (165
), we can check it numerically, or
analytically by expanding it in terms of

We thus have two expressions for the ingoing wave
function
. One
is given by Equation (116
), with
expressed in terms of a series of
hypergeometric functions as given by Equation (120
) (a series which converges everywhere
except at
).
The other is expressed in terms of a series of Coulomb wave
functions given by
, including
. Combining these two, we have a complete analytic
solution for the ingoing wave function.
Now we can obtain analytic expressions for the
asymptotic amplitudes of

Incidentally, since we have the upgoing solution
in the outer region (159
), it is straightforward to obtain the
asymptotic outgoing amplitude at infinity
from
Equation (153
). We find
