Consider the “Fourier-type” integral

and we want the Asymptotic Approximation as .
Note that this is different to Laplace integrals
because here the integrand oscillates like crazy instead of blowing up,
leading to catastrophic cancellation

is the amplitude / envelope functions
is the phase
is the local wavenumber
