## Asymptotic expansion of integral with Gaussian kernel.

roposition

(Asymptotic of integral with Gaussian kernel) Suppose for the function may be expanded and for some the integral exists. Then for the following expansion holds

Proof

Split the integral into two pieces for some fixed number For the second integral we estimate

We substitute the expansion for into the first integral We make a change , , . At this point we bring in the gamma function

 (Gamma function primer)
For the first term we have We evaluate the second term We collect the results It remains to note that the term disapears from expansion of by symmetry .
