✦ Synopsis


Investigating random discrete structures, one often needs upper bounds on the tail of the hypergeometric distribution, with k = (p+ t)n for p = M/N and some t 20. A particularly useful bound,

## Abstract An asymptotic representation is obtained for the hypergeometric function ${\bf F}(a+\lambda,b‐\lambda,c,1/2‐1/2z)$\nopagenumbers\end as $|\lambda|\rightarrow\infty$\nopagenumbers\end with $|{\rm ph}\,\lambda|<\pi$\nopagenumbers\end. It is uniformly valid in the __z__‐plane cut in an app
