Consider the Oscillatory Integrals:

where is stationary at a point .

Method

Suppose that It is very similar if is of higher order.

Taylor expand

Write:

Separate into sections

Let be small (but will depend on ) By Oscillatory Integrals with monotonic phase, we know that in the areas of monotonic we have contribution. Thus we can write:

Use substitution

Substitute

We should be left with an integral of form

which we solve using The Fresnel Integrals. Note that we did have to choose a suitable for this to work, but the exact doesn’t really matter.
