In this paper we shall consider functions Z (A; a) defined by integrals of the typeWe wish to determine the asymptotic expansion of I for large values of il assuming that f has a simple stationary point at t= 01, ie, & (a; a)= 0, ftt (a; a)# 0. Normally the expansion might be obtained by one of the following methods: 1) Laplace’s method, 2) the method of stationary phase, 3) the method of steepest descent (see [I]). However in our case the integrand has a singularity or a zero at t= 0. These methods yield different kinds of results for different values of 2, depending on whether the stationary point is away from the singular point or right at it. We wish to obtain an expansion valid for any location of the stationary point relative to the singular point, ix., an expansion which is uniform in x.. l Integrals of the type of Z (L; a) arise in diffraction problems. The large parameter is kr and x= 0 corresponds to some critical angle of reflection or scattering; see for example [Z].
