How to use steepest descent method to approximate $int_0^{1}s^{1/4+i b x}e^{sx}ds$ as $xto+infty$?

$begingroup$


Let $0< bleqslant 1$. I am interested in using the steepest descent method to calculate the asymptotic approximation (as $xto+infty$) to the following integral that is related to function ${_1}F_1(1,9/4+ibx,-x)$:



$$J(b,x)=int_0^{1}s^{1/4+i b x}e^{sx}ds=int_0^{1}s^{1/4}exp(x(s+iblog s))dstag{1}$$



Let $rho(z)=z+iblog z$. From several excellent solutions in the posts here and here, I know that we suppose to find contour segments such that $Im(rho(z))$=const. I was not able to find explicit solutions when I set $z=u+iv$ or $z=re^{iphi}$.



Also $rho'(z)=1+ib/z$ so the saddle point is at $z_0=-ib$. And $rho^{"}(z_0)=i/b$.



Thanks for any suggestions.



Update



Set $z=re^{iphi}$ in
$$rho(z)=z+iblog z,$$
we obtain $$Rerho(z)=rcosphi-bphi,quadImrho(z)=rsinphi+blog r$$
To make $Imrho(z)=-c$ we can set
$$sinphi=-frac{blog r}{r}-frac{c}{r},qquadphi=-arcsinleft(frac{blog r}{r}+frac{c}{r}right)$$

    you can expand in a $delta$-neighborhood of the critical points which are the endpoints $z=0,1$ and the saddlepoint at $z=-ib$ so you don't need explicit formulas for the paths of steepest descent

If you start with the ${_1hspace{-2px}F_1}$ representation
$$J(b, x) = frac {e^x} {frac 5 4 + i b x}
,{_1hspace{-2px}F_1} {left( 1, frac 9 4 + i b x, -x right)},$$

then
$$ lim_{x to infty}
{_1hspace{-2px}F_1} {left( 1, frac 9 4 + i b x, -x right)} =
sum_{k = 0}^infty lim_{x to infty}
frac {(-x)^k} {left( frac 9 4 + i b x right)_k} =
sum_{k = 0}^infty left( frac i b right)^k = frac b {b - i}$$

and
$$J(b, x) sim frac {e^x} {(i b + 1) x}.$$
This shows that the asymptotic is not determined by the saddle point at $-i b$.



The application of the steepest descent method would go as follows. The curve $operatorname{Im} rho(z) = text{const}$ passing through $z = 1$ is
$$operatorname{Im} (rho(u + i v) - rho(1)) =
v + frac {b ln(u^2 + v^2)} 2 = 0.$$

The slope at $z = 1$ is $-b$. Taking $z = 1 + (1 - i b)xi$, we obtain
$$rho(1 + (1 - i b)xi) = 1 + (1 + b^2) xi + O(xi^2), \
(1 - i b) z^{1/4} e^{x rho(z)} Bigrvert_{z = 1}
int_{-infty}^0 e^{(1 + b^2) x xi} dxi =
frac {e^x} {(i b + 1) x}.$$

It remains to show that other contributions are negligible, using the fact that in the region $operatorname{Re} z < 1 land operatorname{Im} z > 0$, we have
$$operatorname{Re} rho(z) = operatorname{Re} z - b arg z <
operatorname{Re} rho(1).$$
