Abstract

We study the asymptotic behaviour of integrals of the Laplace-Fourier type P(k)=Ωeksf(x)eikxdx  ,P(k) = \int_\Omega\mathrm{e}^{-|k|^sf(x)}\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i} kx}\mathrm{d} x\;, with kRdk\in\mathbb{R}^d in d1d\ge1 dimensions, with ΩRd\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^d and sufficiently well-behaved functions f:ΩRf:\Omega\to\mathbb{R}. Our main result is P(k)eksf(0)ksd/2(2π)ddetAexp(kA1k2ks) P(k) \sim \frac{\mathrm{e}^{-|k|^sf(0)}}{|k|^{sd/2}}\sqrt{\frac{(2\pi)^d}{\det A}} \exp\left(-\frac{k^\top A^{-1}k}{2|k|^s}\right) for k|k|\to\infty, where AA is the Hessian matrix of the function ff at its critical point, assumed to be at x0=0x_0 = 0. In one dimension, the Hessian is replaced by the second derivative, A=f(0)A = f''(0). We also show that the integration domain Ω\Omega can be extended to Rd\mathbb{R}^d without changing the asymptotic behaviour.
