Abstract
In this paper, we further extend the Filon-type method to the Bessel function expansion for calculating Fourier integral. By means of complex analysis, this expansion is effective for all the oscillation frequencies. Namely, the errors of the expansion not only decrease as the order of the derivative increases, but also decrease rapidly as the frequency increases. Some numerical experiments are also presented to verify the effectiveness of the method.
1. Introduction
Highly oscillatory problems widely appear in many fields of mathematics and engineering, such as asymptotic analysis and electromagnetics [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. Especially, the Fourier integral is often encountered. While the parameter , the integrand is highly oscillatory, and this kind of integral is often called highly oscillatory integral. This kind of integration often appears in high frequency acoustic scattering, which is why we study this kind of problem. However, when using the traditional method for calculating the highly oscillatory integrals, such as Gaussian quadrature rule, usually very small discrete steps have to be taken before they can receive a satisfactory numerical results, which makes the computational cost quite high, thus the traditional numerical integration method usually cannot be used for highly oscillatory integral calculation [3,4,5,6,7]. In 1928, Filon first proposed the Filon method [8], which laid the foundation for the numerical method in the future. In recent years, many numerical analysts have developed various Filon-type methods [3,4,5]. An excellent reference on this topic is [3]. For a simple but classical example, the Filon-type method can be defined as
where is order Hermite interpolation polynomial of satisfying
However, the expression and error analysis of Filon-type method are not clear enough.
Therefore, we extend the Filon-type method to the Bessel function expansion in this paper. In addition, the upper bounds for reminders of the expansions are given by complex analysis.
The structure of the paper is as follows. Section 2 gives some basic theoretical results. The Bessel expansion of normal Fourier integral can be found in Section 3 and the Bessel expansion of Fourier integral with symmetric branch points are shown in Section 4. The numerical experiments are provided in Section 5 to show the effectiveness of the new method.
2. Some Basic Theoretical Results
We first give some theoretical results in this section. Firstly, we introduce Equations (1) and (2) (also see [9], Equation (8) and [10]).According to and integrating item by item,
By , we have
Thus, according to the series expression of Bessel function of the first kind [11] , and , if , we have
We only focus on the case of for no segmentation. If , we have
Similarly,
Now, we derive some results about Cauchy-type integral kernel, function approximation and its remainder estimation.
Assuming that U is a region, f is analytic in the region U and continuous in the closed region , i.e., , , , and P is the polynomial. We rewrite Cauchy integral formula as
where we define as Cauchy-type integral kernel. If for , then the geometric series
is absolutely and consistently convergent such that we can exchange the order of integration and summation,
where coefficients .
Theorem 1.
Suppose and , then the error of Equation (3) satisfies

Proof.
By the integral value theorem, the conclusion is obviously true according to the formula

We further enlarge the inequality in Equation (8): Firstly, if with and ω fixed, the right side of Equation (8) behaves as . Secondly, if with and n fixed,
In brief, the errors of Equation (7) not only decrease as the order n of the derivatives increases, but also decrease rapidly as the frequency ω increases.
4. The Bessel Expansion of Fourier Integral With Symmetric Branch Points
Let . In this section, we consider the case that there are symmetric branch points for f. Namely, with .
4.1. Hermite Series with Symmetric Branch Points
The function can be expressed by the multiple Cauchy integral formula

where the remainder is
The coefficients can be computed by the multi-dimension residue theorem. Letting

4.2. The Bessel Expansion of Fourier Integral with Symmetric Branch Points
Similar to Theorem 2, we have the Bessel expansion of Fourier integral with symmetric branch points, and the error estimation is as follows.
Theorem 4.
For , under the assumptions of Theorem 3, we have
where the remainder satisfying
and is independent of ω and a.
5. The Numerical Experiments

6. The Conclusions and Acknowledgement
In this article, we make the expression of the Filon-type method more concise by the Bessel expansions for calculating Fourier integral. Moreover, we also derive the convergence rate of the Filon-type method by means of complex analysis. In fact, both error analysis and numerical tests have shown that the Filon-type method is efficient. On the road of frequency analysis and calculation, we will continue to study.
