Integral of exponential of trig function

71 Views Asked by At

Mathematica and Matlab are both failing me on this integral. I am trying to find alternative forms to be able to use numerical integration in a stable form.

I think I could re-write this potentially in terms of Bessel functions or Taylor expansions? $$ \int_0^{2\pi}e^{i\left(a\cos(x)^2 + b\sin(x)^2\right)}dx $$
