The authors investigate the problem of tangential incidence of short waves onto a surface with an inflection point. Formal solutions of the corresponding equation are constructed near the inflection point in the form of a quasihomogeneous function series. The formal solution is joined with the geometrical optics solution far from the inflection point of the boundary. The problem is restated as a scattering problem for the Schrodinger equation; existence, uniqueness, and smoothness theorems are proved. The formal asymptotic expansion are proved.
