1.01 dx {u p (u,)+ q (u, x) l vo, in which u is a large positive parameter, andx ranges over a real interval. This interval contains no singularities of the functions p (u, x) and q (u, x) and just one zero of p (u, x); it need not be bounded. In the present paper, we extend these results in two ways. First, we consider higher approxi-mations which are obtained by truncating certain formal (generally di-vergent) series solutions of the differential equation involing the Airy functions and their first derivatives. Second, we consider complex alues of x and u.The series we are investigating are not themselves new; it is already known [2, 3, 4, 5] that they represent uniform asymptotic expansions of solutions for large alues of the parameteru, subject to certain restrictions on p (u, x) and q (u, x). The new feature of the results given below is that they supply precise, and realistic, bounds for the remainder terms associated with the truncated series.
