We derive integral representations for the Shannon and Renyi entropies associated with some simple probability distributions. These include the Poisson, binomial, and negative binomial distributions. Then we obtain full asymptotic expansions for the entropies.

apparently new expansion of the exponential integral El in incomplete gamma functions is presented and shown to be a limiting csse of a more general expansion given by Mcomi in 1950 without proof. This latter expansion is proved here by interpreting it as a "multiplication theorem". A companion resu
The fact that geo-stable distributions do not have an explicit representation causes severe difficulties in empirical work. Here, we provide representations for geometric-stable probability densities in terms of fast converging integrals.
The classical term-by-term integration technique used for obtaining asymptotic expansions of integrals requires the integrand to have an uniform asymptotic expansion in the integration variable. A modification of this method is presented in which the uniformity requirement is substituted by a much w
