Asymptotic expansion of integral with Gaussian kernel.


roposition

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

Proof

Split the integral MATH into two pieces MATH for some fixed number $\delta.$ For the second integral we estimate MATH

We substitute the expansion for $\phi$ into the first integral MATH We make a change $xt^{2}=\tau$ , MATH , MATH . MATH At this point we bring in the gamma function

MATH (Gamma function primer)
For the first term we have MATH We evaluate the second term MATH We collect the results MATH It remains to note that the term $\frac{1}{x}$ disapears from expansion of $\Phi_{1}$ by symmetry $t\rightarrow-t$ .
