Abstract

A stationary phase method is developed for the asymptotic evaluation, as R → ∞, of oscillatory sums of the form

It is extended to multidimensional sums. Numerical comparisons demonstrate the accuracy of the asymptotic approximations. The results are applied to the practical estimation of the number of lattice points in large domains in ℝ2.
