Asymptotic solutions to a discrete airy equation

A nonstandard finite difference scheme for the Airy equation leads to a linear, second—order difference equation for which the theorems of Poincaré and Perron do not apply if asymptotic representations of the solutions are desired. Using the method of dominant balance, a suggested form for the asymptotic solutions is obtained. This relation is then used to construct the required asymptotic representations for the two linearly independent solutions
