  the linearized treatment of small time-dependent disturbances
of a laminar boundary layer, initiated by lighthill, is extended in
several ways .  in particular, the high-frequency expansion is
continued beyond the leading (stokes) term .  several interesting
questions of /joining/ occur, which are discussed but left unresolved
.  in addition, a practical method for obtaining the response
to the laminar boundary layer to an impulsive change in
velocity is presented .  the methods are applied to the case in
which the basic steady flow belongs to the falkner and skan
family of similarity solutions .
