The usual way to determine the asymptotic behavior of the Chebyshev coefficients for a function is to apply the method of steepest descent to the integral representation of the coefficients. However, the procedure is usually laborious. We prove an asymptotic upper bound on the Chebyshev coefficients for the kth integral of a function. The tightness of this upper bound is then analyzed for the c...
