Abstract: Motivated by issues in detonation stability, we study existence of block-diagonalizing transformations for ordinary differential semiclassical limit problems arising in the study of high-frequency eigenvalue problems. Our main results are to (i) establish existence of block-diagonalizing transformations in a neighborhood of infinity for analytic-coefficient ODE, and (ii) establish by a series of counterexample sharpness of hypotheses and conclusions on existence of block-diagonalizing transformations near a finite point. In particular, we show that, in general, bounded transformations exist only locally, answering a question posed by Wasow in the 1980's, and, under the minimal condition of spectral separation, for ODE with analytic rather than

C^{i} n f t y

coefficients. The latter issue is connected with quantitative comparisons of

C^{o} m e g a

vs.

C^{i} n f t y

stationary phase estimates
