Abstract
In this chapter we will present the uniform solutions in the context of GTD, and we begin by defining the properties of uniform asymptotic expansions in this section. Let f(X,ε) be a scalar or vectorial function of the variable X ∈ D, where D is a given domain, depending upon the small parameter ε∈R 0.
