A survey on the Liouville-Green (WKB) approximation for linear difference equation of the second order. (English)
[A] Elaydi, S. (ed.) et al., Advances in difference equations. Proceedings of the 2nd international conference on difference equations, Veszprém, Hungary, August 7--11, 1995. Langhorne, PA: Gordon and Breach Science Publishers. 567-577 (1997). ISBN 90-5699-521-9/hbk

Summary: The main results concerning the Liouville-Green (WKB) approximation for second-order linear difference equations are reviewed. This is an asymptotic representation of a special type (other than power series) for solutions, where precise error bounds accompany the approximation, and was earlier introduced only formally, mostly by physicists, as in the continuous case. Rigorous results have been given more recently and are described along with several applications.
