Quadratic stationary endpoint with quadratically vanishing amplitude

ID: quadratic-stationary-endpoint-with-quadratically-vanishing-amplitude

The stationary endpoint contributes by method of steepest descent along . Its ordinary term vanishes because . A nonstationary upper endpoint with contributes and therefore dominates the stationary contribution. The stationary phase method must retain both this boundary term and the first nonzero local-amplitude term.
