2023-07 An oscillatory integral

Suppose that \( f: [a, b] \to \mathbb{R} \) is a smooth, convex function, and there exists a constant \( t>0 \) such that \( f'(x) \geq t \) for all \( x \in (a, b) \). Prove that
\[
\left| \int_a^b e^{i f(x)} dx \right| \leq \frac{2}{t}.
\]

2014-14 Integration and integrality

Prove or disprove that for all positive integers \(m\) and \(n\), \[ f(m,n)=\frac{2^{3(m+n)-\frac12} }{{\pi}} \int_0^{\pi/2} \sin^{ 2n – \frac12 }\theta \cdot \cos^{2m+\frac12}\theta \, d\theta\]  is an integer.

(A typo is fixed on Saturday.)
