Oscillatory endpoint with a quadratically vanishing drift

ID: oscillatory-endpoint-with-a-quadratically-vanishing-drift

For on , removing the drift by gives
The transformed potential changes sign at . WKB approximation is oscillatory inside and exponential outside this turning region; an Airy turning-point connection formula applies over width . At the endpoint the wavelength is , while the physical exponential prefactor changes on the envelope scale . Balancing only diffusion and drift and declaring a single layer misses the zeroth-order term and the turning region. Matching constants may be singular at homogeneous boundary-value resonances.
