Bound or Estimate a Parametric Integral
We consider a function $f : ] 0 , + \infty [ \rightarrow \mathbb { R }$ continuous piecewise satisfying the two following properties: (a) there exist an integer $K \geqslant 0$ and a real $C > 0$ such that $| f ( t ) | \leqslant C t ^ { K }$ on $[ 1 , + \infty [$, (b) there exist an integer $N \geqslant 0$, two reals $\lambda > 0$ and $\mu > 0$ and reals $a _ { 0 } , \ldots , a _ { N }$ such that $$f ( t ) = \sum _ { k = 0 } ^ { N } a _ { k } t ^ { ( k + \lambda - \mu ) / \mu } + o \left( t ^ { ( N + \lambda - \mu ) / \mu } \right) \quad \text { when } t \rightarrow 0 .$$ We denote $\rho _ { N } ( t ) = f ( t ) - \sum _ { k = 0 } ^ { N } a _ { k } t ^ { ( k + \lambda - \mu ) / \mu }$ the remainder of the asymptotic expansion of $f$.
We fix $\delta > 0$ and $\alpha \in \mathbb { R }$. Show that for all $x > 0$, the function $t \mapsto e ^ { - t / x } t ^ { \alpha }$ is integrable on $[ \delta , + \infty [$ and that for all $n \in \mathbb { N }$, we have: $$\int _ { \delta } ^ { + \infty } e ^ { - t / x } t ^ { \alpha } d t = o \left( x ^ { n } \right) \quad \text { when } x \rightarrow 0 ^ { + }$$ Deduce that for all $n \in \mathbb { N }$, $$\int _ { \delta } ^ { + \infty } e ^ { - t / x } \rho _ { N } ( t ) d t = o \left( x ^ { n } \right) \quad \text { when } x \rightarrow 0 ^ { + }$$
