  We make a harmonic analysis of the pairing and damping contribution of a
finite $k$ range isotropic electron-phonon (or other boson) scattering in an
anisotropic two-dimensional electronic system. We show that the pairing
contribution of the anisotropic part of the electronic system can be much
larger than its damping contribution enhancing significantly T_c. The higher is
the order of the harmonic of the electronic anisotropy, smaller is its damping
contribution and higher can be the asymmetry in its damping-pairing
contribution. This could explain the puzzle of a much broader quasiparticle
peak in the n-doped than in the p-doped cuprates, their smaller T_c's being
also attributed to larger damping effects.
