There is a huge field of asymptotic expansions and such over the real and complex fields (see Bender and Orszag, or Copson, or Whittaker and Watson). How different is the theory over p-adic fields? And is there a good introduction, with lots of examples, somewhere?

2$\begingroup$ I do not know of any intro on this... but/and, having thought about the archimedean case (!?!) in recent years, I wonder what things you're wanting... $\endgroup$– paul garrettJun 9, 2015 at 0:40

$\begingroup$ @paulgarrett Perhaps asymptotic expansions for functions satisfying p-adic differential equations? $\endgroup$– KimballJun 9, 2015 at 3:38

$\begingroup$ @Kimball I would certainly not say no anything on that, but my original motivation is estimating integrals (in my case, over $p$-adic Lie groups, but that has a lot of extra baggage, so it would be good to know if there were anything like steepest descent, stationary phase, or whatever) $\endgroup$– Igor RivinJun 9, 2015 at 15:38
