Theory and numerical evaluation of oddoids and evenoids: oscillatory cuspoid integrals with odd and even polynomial phase functions (Q2643088)

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the properties of two classes of oscillating integrals, which the authors call oddoids and evenoids (both classes of integrals call oddenoids). The oddoid integrals of order \(k=1,2,\dots\) are defined by \[ O_{k} (a)=\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }\exp \biggl(i\biggl(\frac{t^{2k+1} }{2k+1} +\sum _{j=1}^{k}a_{j} \frac{t^{2j-1} }{2j-1} \biggr)\!\biggr)dt= 2\int _{0}^{\infty }\cos \biggl(\biggl(\frac{t^{2k+1} }{2k+1} +\sum _{j=1}^{k}a_{j} \frac{t^{2j-1} }{2j-1} \biggr)\!\biggr)dt, \] whereas the evenoid of order \(k=1,2,\dots\) are defined by \[ E_{k} (a)=\!\int _{-\infty }^{\infty }\!\exp \biggl(i\biggl(\frac{t^{2k+2} }{2k+2} +\sum _{j=1}^{k}a_{j} \frac{t^{2j} }{2j} \biggr)\biggr)\,dt= 2\int _{0}^{\infty }\exp \biggl(i\biggl(\frac{t^{2k+2} }{2k+2} +\sum _{j=1}^{k}a_{j} \frac{t^{2j} }{2j} \biggr)\biggr)\,dt, \] where \(a=(a_{1} ,a_{2} ,\dots,a_{k} )\) is a vector of real numbers. The authors study in detail oddenoids whose phase functions contain up to three real parameters \(a_{j} \). For each oddenoid its MacLaurin series representation is obtained and its relation to Airy-Hardy integrals and Bessel functions of fractional order is investigated. Plots and short tables of numerical values for the oddenoids are presented.
