Asymptotic expansion of Laplace integral.


onsider the integral MATH for complex $x$ and assume that the function $\phi$ is such that MATH exists for some $x_{0}$ . Then the integral exists for all $x$ s.t. MATH . For such $x$ we obtain asymptotic expansion for MATH via integration by parts MATH and we obtained a combination MATH as MATH MATH . We apply the same operation again: MATH Thus MATH where the expansion may be continued as long as $\phi$ is continuously differentiable.

To confirm that the precise values of $\phi$ for $t>0$ really are of no relevance to the asymptotic expansion, split the interval of integration into two pieces MATH for some $\varepsilon>0$ . Then, for $x$ s.t. MATH , MATH for any $n>0$ .

We summarize our findings.

Proposition

(Asymptotic expansion of Laplace integral) Let $\phi$ be an $N$ -times continuously differentiable function and the integral MATH exists for some $x=x_{0}$ . Then for any complex number $x$ s.t. MATH , MATH
