OSCILLATORY INTEGRALS AND NEWTON POLYHEDRA JOONIL KIM ~ be a vector polynomial of two variables. Given Ij = [0, 1] or [0, ∞), we Abstract. Let P talk about the largest number µ that the oscillatory integrals satisfy Z ~ eihξ,P (x,y)i Ψ(x, y)dxdy = O(|ξ|−µ ) as |ξ| → ∞ I1 ×I2 for all Ψ in a certain class of C ∞ functions. This number µ is described in terms of some ~ . We next discuss about the cases generalized notion of Newton polyhedra associated with P of operators T λ where T λ f (x) is defined as an integral over the global domain (−∞, ∞): Z ∞ T λ f (x) = eiλP (x,y) f (y)dy where f is in Schwartz class. −∞ Department of Mathematics, Yonsei University, Seoul 120-729, Korea E-mail address: jikim7030@yonsei.ac.kr 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification.
