1: 5.21 Methods of Computation
Another approach is to apply numerical quadrature (§3.5) to the integral (5.9.2), using paths of steepest descent for the contour. …
2: 26.14 Permutations: Order Notation
Equivalently, this is the sum over 1 j < n of the number of integers less than σ ( j ) that lie in positions to the right of the j th position: inv ( 35247816 ) = 2 + 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 2 + 0 = 11 . A descent of a permutation is a pair of adjacent elements for which the first is larger than the second. The permutation 35247816 has two descents: 52 and 81 . The major index is the sum of all positions that mark the first element of a descent: … The Eulerian number, denoted n k , is the number of permutations in 𝔖 n with exactly k descents. …
3: 9.17 Methods of Computation
In the first method the integration path for the contour integral (9.5.4) is deformed to coincide with paths of steepest descent2.4(iv)). …
4: 2.4 Contour Integrals
Paths on which ( z p ( t ) ) is constant are also the ones on which | exp ( z p ( t ) ) | decreases most rapidly. For this reason the name method of steepest descents is often used. However, for the purpose of simply deriving the asymptotic expansions the use of steepest descent paths is not essential. …
5: 3.5 Quadrature
§3.5(ix) Other Contour Integrals
For example, steepest descent paths can be used; see §2.4(iv). … The steepest descent path is given by ( t 2 t ) = 0 , or in polar coordinates t = r e i θ we have r = sec 2 ( 1 2 θ ) . … A special case is the rule for Hilbert transforms (§1.14(v)): …

    where j denotes a real critical point (36.4.1) or (36.4.2), and μ denotes a critical point with complex t or s , t , connected with j by a steepest-descent path (that is, a path where Φ = constant ) in complex t or ( s , t ) space. …
