►This technique can be applied to generate a hierarchy of approximations for the diffraction catastrophes
in (36.2.10) away from , in terms of canonical integrals for .
For example, the diffraction catastrophe
defined by (36.2.10), and corresponding to the Pearcey integral (36.2.14), can be approximated by the Airy function when is large, provided that and are not small.
