2: 36.12 Uniform Approximation of Integrals
This technique can be applied to generate a hierarchy of approximations for the diffraction catastrophes Ψ K ( 𝐱 ; k ) in (36.2.10) away from 𝐱 = 𝟎 , in terms of canonical integrals Ψ J ( ξ ( 𝐱 ; k ) ) for J < K . …
3: 33.23 Methods of Computation
Noble (2004) obtains double-precision accuracy for W η , μ ( 2 ρ ) for a wide range of parameters using a combination of recurrence techniques, power-series expansions, and numerical quadrature; compare (33.2.7).
§33.23(vii) WKBJ Approximations
WKBJ approximations2.7(iii)) for ρ > ρ tp ( η , ) are presented in Hull and Breit (1959) and Seaton and Peach (1962: in Eq. …Seaton (1984) estimates the accuracies of these approximations. Hull and Breit (1959) and Barnett (1981b) give WKBJ approximations for F 0 and G 0 in the region inside the turning point: ρ < ρ tp ( η , ) .

    The Airy functions constitute uniform approximations whose region of validity includes the turning point and its neighborhood. …The use of Airy function and related uniform asymptotic techniques to calculate amplitudes of polarized rainbows can be found in Nussenzveig (1992) and Adam (2002). … Again, the quest for asymptotic approximations that are uniformly valid solutions to this equation in the neighborhoods of critical points leads (after choosing solvable equations with similar asymptotic properties) to Airy functions. … This reference provides several examples of applications to problems in quantum mechanics in which Airy functions give uniform asymptotic approximations, valid in the neighborhood of a turning point. …

    A relativistic treatment becoming necessary as Z becomes large as corrections to the non-relativistic Schrödinger picture are of approximate order ( α Z ) 2 ( Z / 137 ) 2 , α being the dimensionless fine structure constant e 2 / ( 4 π ε 0 c ) , where c is the speed of light. … Shizgal (2015) gives a broad overview of techniques and applications of spectral and pseudo-spectral methods to problems arising in theoretical chemistry, chemical kinetics, transport theory, and astrophysics. … The technique to accomplish this follows the DVR idea, in which methods are based on finding tridiagonal representations of the co-ordinate, x . … While s in the basis of (18.39.44) is simply a variational parameter, care must be taken, or the relationship between the results of the matrix variational approximation and the Pollaczek polynomials is lost, although this has no effect on the use of the variational approximations Reinhardt (2021a, b). … This equivalent quadrature relationship, see Heller et al. (1973), Yamani and Reinhardt (1975), allows extraction of scattering information from the finite dimensional L 2 functions of (18.39.53), provided that such information involves potentials, or projections onto L 2 functions, exactly expressed, or well approximated, in the finite basis of (18.39.44). …
