3: 19.27 Asymptotic Approximations and Expansions
Although they are obtained (with some exceptions) by approximating uniformly the integrand of each elliptic integral, some occur also as the leading terms of known asymptotic series with error bounds (Wong (1983, §4), Carlson and Gustafson (1985), López (2000, 2001)). …

5: 10.72 Mathematical Applications
Bessel functions and modified Bessel functions are often used as approximants in the construction of uniform asymptotic approximations and expansions for solutions of linear second-order differential equations containing a parameter. … If f ( z ) has a double zero z 0 , or more generally z 0 is a zero of order m , m = 2 , 3 , 4 , , then uniform asymptotic approximations (but not expansions) can be constructed in terms of Bessel functions, or modified Bessel functions, of order 1 / ( m + 2 ) . …The order of the approximating Bessel functions, or modified Bessel functions, is 1 / ( λ + 2 ) , except in the case when g ( z ) has a double pole at z 0 . … Then for large u asymptotic approximations of the solutions w can be constructed in terms of Bessel functions, or modified Bessel functions, of variable order (in fact the order depends on u and α ). …

8: 36.13 Kelvin’s Ship-Wave Pattern
Then with g denoting the acceleration due to gravity, the wave height is approximately given by … When ρ > 1 , that is, everywhere except close to the ship, the integrand oscillates rapidly. … The disturbance z ( ρ , ϕ ) can be approximated by the method of uniform asymptotic approximation for the case of two coalescing stationary points (36.12.11), using the fact that θ ± ( ϕ ) are real for | ϕ | < ϕ c and complex for | ϕ | > ϕ c . …
