Generate an Asymptotic Expansion (AsymptoticDSolveValue)

A linear ordinary differential equation can be approximated by general asymptotic series near an irregular singular point for the equation. This example shows how to obtain such an approximation using AsymptoticDSolveValue. The exponential factor in the asymptotic series is required to capture the rapid growth, decay or oscillation of the solution near the irregular singular point.
