Title: Uniform asymptotics as a stationary point approaches an endpoint,
Abstract: We obtain the rigorous uniform asymptotics of a particular integral where a
stationary point is close to an endpoint. There exists a general method
introduced by Bleistein for obtaining uniform asymptotics in this situation.
However, this method does not provide rigorous estimates for the error. Indeed,
the method of Bleistein starts with a change of variables, which implies that
the parameter governing how close the stationary point is to the endpoint
appears in several parts of the integrand, and this means that one cannot
obtain general error bounds. By adapting the above method to our particular
integral, we obtain rigorous uniform leading-order asymptotics. We also give a
rigorous derivation of the asymptotics to all orders of the same integral; the
novelty of this second approach is that it does not involve a global change of
variables.
