On the nature of the large-q expansion of the response for a non-relativistic confined system

We show the equivalence of a previously derived exact expression for the response of a non-relativistic system with harmonic forces and an infinite sum of weighted $\delta$-functions corresponding to the spectrum. We forward arguments, indicating that the Gersch-Rodriguez-Smith $1/q$-expansion of the response does not converge and prove that this expansion is an asymptotic series.
