The Marcum Q- function and the limit of Modified Bessel Functions

57 Views Asked by At

I've recently come across the following limit:

$$\lim_{n \to \infty} \left[\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^k \operatorname{I}_k(ab)\right]^n$$

where $\operatorname{I}_k$ are modified Bessel functions.

Is there a known solution for this limit?

If you are wondering about the origin of my question, it has to do with the asymptotic distribution of the minima (or maxima) of the Rice distribution, where the Marcum Q- function appears in the CDF of the Rice distribution.
