| Abstract: | Inspired by the symbol calculus of linear differential operators of infinite order applied to the Borel transformed WKB solutions of simple-pole type equation Kamimoto et al. (RIMS Kôkyûroku Bessatsu B 52:127–146, 2014)], which is summarized in Section 1, we introduce in Section 2 the space of simple resurgent functions depending on a parameter with an infra-exponential type growth order, and then we define the assigning operator \({\mathscr{A}}\) which acts on the space and produces resurgent functions with essential singularities. In Section 3, we apply the operator \({\mathscr{A}}\) to the Borel transforms of the Voros coefficient and its exponentiation for the Whittaker equation with a large parameter so that we may find the Borel transforms of the Voros coefficient and its exponentiation for the boosted Whittaker equation with a large parameter. In Section 4, we use these results to find the explicit form of the alien derivatives of the Borel transformed WKB solutions of the boosted Whittaker equation with a large parameter. The results in this paper manifest the importance of resurgent functions with essential singularities in developing the exact WKB analysis, the WKB analysis based on the resurgent function theory. It is also worth emphasizing that the concrete form of essential singularities we encounter is expressed by the linear differential operators of infinite order. |
