    Asymptotics Sheet 3

    In all of the below, the relevant asymptotic limit is X → ∞.

    1. Use integration by parts to obtain the first two terms in the asymptotic expansion of
    Z ∞
    2 +1)
    I(X) = e−X(t dt.
    1

    2. Show that Z b  
    f (t)e−Xt dt = o e−Xa .
    a

    3. Obtain the leading order asymptotic behaviour of the following integrals


    R ∞ −t3
    (a) X e dt.
    R 6 −Xt2 √
    (b) 3 e 1 + t2 dt.
    R π/2 X(sin t+cos t) √
    (c) 0 e t dt.
    R ∞ X(2t−t2 )
    (d) 0 e log(1 + t2 ) dt.
    R1
    (e) −1 e−X(cosh t+1) et dt.

    4. Use Watson’s lemma to find an infinite asymptotic expansion of


    Z ∞
    2 +1)
    I(X) = e−X(t dt .

    5. Use Watson’s lemma to find an infinite asymptotic expansion of


    Z π
    I(X) = e−Xt t−1/3 cos t dt .
    0

    6. Show that Z ∞ −X


    u 1 1 1
    1+ e−u du ∼ + − .
    0 X 2 8X 32X 2

    7. Use the method of stationary phase to obtain the leading asymptotic behaviour of the
    following integrals
    R1 4
    (a) 0 tan(t)eiXt dt .
    R2 3 /3)
    (b) 1/2 (1 + t)eiX(−t+t dt .
    R∞ 1
    (c) 0 1+t2
    eiXt dt .
    R ∞ iX(2t−t2 )
    (d) 0 e ln(1 + t2 ) dt .
    Rπ 2
    (e) 0 sin(X cos(t))e−t dt .

    (d) 0 e dt .
    R∞ √ 3 /3)
    (e) −1 1 + t cos(Xt2 )eX(t−t dt .

    Explain (without proof) why the steepest descent contour that you chose is equivalent
    to the original contour.

    9. Find the leading asymptotic behaviour of the Gamma function Γ(X) using the integral
    representation
    1 1 Z t −X
    = e t dt
    Γ(X) 2πi γ
    where the path γ starts at −∞ below the branch cut along the negative x-axis, encircles
    the origin and then goes off to −∞ above the branch cut.
