Two-dimensional stationary-phase formula

ID: two-dimensional-stationary-phase-formula

For a smooth real phase with an isolated nondegenerate interior critical point , smooth amplitude , and no competing boundary contribution, the leading contribution is , where is the Hessian matrix. Orthogonal diagonalization gives two one-dimensional Fresnel integrals. A degenerate critical point or a stationary boundary needs its own local analysis.
