Generalized Fresnel integrals as oscillatory integrals with positive real power phase functions and applications to asymptotic expansions

Abstract: In this paper, we first generalize the Fresnel integrals by changing of a path for integration in the proof of the Fresnel integrals by Cauchy's integral theorem. Next, according to oscillatory integral, we also obtain further generalization of the extended Fresnel integrals. Moreover by using this result, we have an asymptotic expansion of an oscillatory integral with a positive real parameter, for a phase function with a degenerate critical point expressed by positive real power, including a moderate oscillation, and for a suitable amplitude function. This result gives a finer extension of the stationary phase method in one variable, which is known as a method for an asymptotic expansion of an oscillatory integral of a phase function with a non-degenerate critical point.
