We study the asymptotic behaviour of integrals of the Laplace-Fourier type P(k) = ∫Ωe-|k|sf(x)ei kxd x , with k∈ℝd in d≥1 dimensions, with Ω⊂ℝd and sufficiently well-behaved functions f:Ω→ℝ. Our main result is P(k) ∼ \frace-|k|sf(0)|k|sd/2√(((2π)d)/(det A)) exp(-\frack^\top A-1k2|k|s) for |k|→∞, where A is the Hessian matrix of the function f at its critical point, assumed to be at x0 = 0. In one dimension, the Hessian is replaced by the second derivative, A = f''(0). We also show that the integration domain Ω can be extended to ℝd without changing the asymptotic behaviour.
