Preface

The purpose of this memoir is to present a theory of asymptotic expansions for functions of two variables, using at the same time functions of one variable and functions of the quotient of these two variables. These composite asymptotic expansions (CAsEs for short) are particularly well suited to the description of solutions of singularly perturbed ordinary differential equations. Their use is classical for boundary layers, but less familiar near turning points.
