However, the passage to the limit t -> oo is morereadily carried out by writing the solution in a different form inwhich a singularity a pole, in fact then appears on the real axisof the 0-plane. (It seerns, indeed, likely that such an occurrence wouldbe the rule in any considerations of the present kind since the limitwould not usually be a function having a Fouriertransform, and one could expect that the limit function would somehow appear as a contribution in the form of a residue at a pole. ) It isfunction ast-> ooUNSTEADY MOTIONS179convenient to deform the path of integration in the $-plane into thepath L indicated in the accompanying figure.

Thisisin fact the case, ascan be seen easilyin the followingway That branch of \/s is taken which is positive on the positive realaxis, and we operate always in the right half-plane.

Consider now the contribution furnished bythe uppermost item in the square brackets. Since the exponential hasa negative real part on the semi-circular portion of the path L it isoo this part of the path makes a contributionclear that as t -++that tends to zero.
The remaining portions of L, whichlieon therealWATER WAVES180axis,are then readily seen to make contributions which die outcan be seen easily by integration by parts, for example,like 1/t: thisby application of knownorresultsabout Fourier transforms.

The steady state solutionas obtained in section 4.3 actually was a little more awkward to obtaindirectly through use of the radiation condition than it was to obtainthe solution (6.7.13) of the initial value problem. In particular, theasymptotic behavior of an integral representation had to be investi-gated in the former case also before the radiation condition could beused. Thus we have seen in this special case that the radiation condition can be replaced by boundedness conditions (in the space variables, that is) if one treats an appropriate initial value problem insteadof the steady state problem.Even though notstrictly necessarysince (6.7.15)knownistofurnish the desired steady state solution it is perhaps of interest toshow directly that the right hand side of (6.7.15) has the behaviorone expects for an out-going progressing wave when x -> + o.

Justification of theMethod of Stationary PhaseIn section 6.5 the method of stationary phase was used (and it willbe used again later on) to obtain approximations of an asymptoticcharacter for the solutions of a variety of problems when thesesolutions are givenby means of=(6.8.1)integrals of theformCJaand the objectconstant kin soisisto obtainlarge. Sincemany importantan approximation valid when the realof such approximate formulasit seems worth while to give a mathema-we make usecases,the method of stationary phase, following a procedure due to Poincard.
The presentation given here is based upon thetical justification ofpresentation given by Copson [C.5].PoineareS's proof requires the assumption that<p(z)andy>(z)areregular analytic functions of the complex variable z in a domain<b of the real axis in its interior.xcontaining the segment S: a^(In what follows, we assume a and b to be finite, but an extension tothe case of infinite limits would not be difficult.) In addition <p(z) isassumed to be real when z is real. These conditions are more restricis necessary for the validity of the final result. For example,the function y might also depend on &, provided that y(x, k) is notstrongly oscillatory, or singular, for large values of k.
The assumptiontive thanis also not indispensable. However, these generalizawould complicate both the formulation and proof of our theoremwithout changing their essentials; consequently we do not considerof analyticitytionsthemhere.WATER WAVES182be shown thatthe main contributions to I(k) arise from thenearthat is, nearthosevaluesof x for which (p'(x)points ofthe points of stationary phase. The term of lowest order in the asymptotic development of I(k) with respect to k will then be obtained onIt will=Sthe basis of this observation. Kelvin himself offered a heuristic argument (cf. sec. 5 above) indicating why such a procedure should yieldthe desired result.Since<p'(z) isregular in thezeros are isolated.domain containingHence S can be dividedS,itfollows thatitsnumberofinto a finitesegments on which (p(z) has either one stationary point or no stationarypoint.
We shall show first that the contribution to I(k) from a segmentcontaining no stationary point is of order l/k. Next it will be shownthat a segment containing any given point of stationary phase can befound such that the contribution to the integral furnished by thesegment is of lower order than 1 /k and a formula for this contributionwill be derived. It turns out that this contribution of lowest order9independent of the length of the segment containing the pointof stationary phase, provided only that the segment has been chosenshort enough.
Once these facts have been proved, it is clear that theislowest order contributions to the integral arc to be found by addingthe contributions arising at each of the points of stationary phase.cSuppose, then, that (p(x) has no stationary point on a segmentxd of S.
