11: 36.12 Uniform Approximation of Integrals
§36.12 Uniform Approximation of Integrals
The canonical integrals (36.2.4) provide a basis for uniform asymptotic approximations of oscillatory 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 . For example, the diffraction catastrophe Ψ 2 ( x , y ; k ) defined by (36.2.10), and corresponding to the Pearcey integral (36.2.14), can be approximated by the Airy function Ψ 1 ( ξ ( x , y ; k ) ) when k is large, provided that x and y are not small. … For further information concerning integrals with several coalescing saddle points see Arnol’d et al. (1988), Berry and Howls (1993, 1994), Bleistein (1967), Duistermaat (1974), Ludwig (1966), Olde Daalhuis (2000), and Ursell (1972, 1980).

    The scaling error reported on 2016-09-12 by Dan Piponi also applied to contour and density plots for the phase of the hyperbolic umbilic canonical integrals. Scales were corrected in all figures. The interval 8.4 x y 2 8.4 was replaced by 12.0 x y 2 12.0 and 12.7 x + y 2 4.2 replaced by 18.0 x + y 2 6.0 . All plots and interactive visualizations were regenerated to improve image quality.

  • 13: 36.15 Methods of Computation
    This can be carried out by direct numerical evaluation of canonical integrals along a finite segment of the real axis including all real critical points of Φ , with contributions from the contour outside this range approximated by the first terms of an asymptotic series associated with the endpoints. … For numerical solution of partial differential equations satisfied by the canonical integrals see Connor et al. (1983).
