Synopsis

Uniformly valid asymptotic approximations are presented for solutions of the angular equations associated with the problem of diffraction by a plane angular sector. Error estimates are provided for all approximations. The asymptotic variable is related to the number of zeros of the solutions of the angular equations and expressions for the eigenvalues of the equations are presented in decoupled form.
