Assignment 2

The document contains 3 problems involving finding asymptotic expansions of integrals as a parameter approaches infinity. The first problem asks to find the first term of an integral of x sin^4 t as x approaches infinity. The second asks to find the first three terms of an integral of x sin^2 t as x approaches infinity, using Watson's Lemma. The third asks to find the asymptotic behavior of a Bessel function integral as the order approaches infinity.

(b) Now use Watson’s Lemma to find the first three terms in the asymptotic expansion
of I(x) as x ! 1.

3. An integral expression for the Bessel function of the first kind of order ⌫ is
