  "abstract": "We examine the solution of the Benjamin-Ono Cauchy problem for rational initial data in three types of double-scaling limits in which the dispersion tends to zero while simultaneously the independent variables either approach a point on one of the two branches of the caustic curve of the inviscid Burgers equation, or approach the critical point where the branches meet. The results reveal universal limiting profiles in each case that are independent of details of the initial data. We compare the results obtained with corresponding results for the Korteweg-de Vries equation found by Claeys-Grava in three papers. Our method is to analyze contour integrals appearing in an explicit representation of the solution of the Cauchy problem, in various limits involving coalescing saddle points.",
