Applying the numerical method of steepest descent on multivariate oscillatory integrals in scattering theory

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper we demonstrate that the numerical method of steepest descent fails when applied in a straight forward fashion to the most commonly occurring highly oscillatory integrals in scattering theory. Through a polar change of variables, however, the integral can be brought on a form that can be solved efficiently using a mix of oscillatory integration techniques and classical quadrature. The approach is described in detail and demonstrated numerically on integration problems taken from applications.
