| contents | Hyperasymptotics is an analytical method that incorporates exponentially small contributions into asymptotic approximations, thereby expanding their domain of validity, improving accuracy, and providing deeper insight into the underlying singularity structures. It also allows for the computation of problem-specific invariants, such as Stokes multipliers, whose values are often assumed or remain unknown in other approaches. For differential equations, unlike standard asymptotic expansions, hyperasymptotic expansions determine solutions uniquely. In this paper, we extend the hyperasymptotic method to inverse factorial series solutions of certain higher-order linear difference equations and demonstrate that the resulting expansions also determine the solutions uniquely. We further indicate how the connection coefficients appearing in these expansions can be computed numerically using hyperasymptotic techniques. In addition, we give explicit remainder bounds for the inverse factorial series solutions. Our main tool is the Mellin--Borel transform. The expansions are expressed via universal hyperterminant functions, closely related to the hyperterminants familiar from integral and differential equation contexts. The results are illustrated by the Gauss hypergeometric function with a large third parameter and a third-order difference equation. |
