This hybrid method applies to functions that remain of moderate growth near the unit circle and satisfy suitable smoothness assumptions this even in the case when the unit circle is a natural boundary. A prime application is to coefficients of several types of infinite product generating functions for which full asymptotic expansions involving periodic fluctuations at higher orders can be derived. Examples relative to permutations trees and polynomials over finite fields are treated in this way. Introduction A few enumerative problems of combinatorial theory lead to generating functions that are expressed as infinite products and admit the unit circle as a natural boundary. Functions with a fast growth near the unit circle are usually amenable to the saddle point method a famous example being the integer partition generating function. We consider here functions of moderate growth which are outside the scope of the saddle point method.
