On a Method of Asymptotic Evaluation of Multiple Integrals

R. Wong, J. PETER McCLURE · Mathematics of Computation · 1981

In this paper, some of the formal arguments given by Jones and Kline [J. Math. Phys., v. 37, 1958, pp. 1-28] are made rigorous. In particular, the reduction procedure of a multiple oscillatory integral to a one-dimensional Fourier transform is justified, and a Taylor-type theorem with remainder is proved for the Dirac $\delta$-function. The analyticity condition of Jones and Kline is now replaced by infinite differentiability. Connections with the asymptotic expansions of Jeanquartier and Malgrange are also discussed.
