Timeline for Integrals can sometimes be computed through their saddle points. Are there examples of converse, when saddle points are found via integrals?

| Jan 19, 2022 at 18:53 | comment | added | Weather Report | I think the difference with my question is that I assume that the measure $\mu$ is known, but it's difficult to find its critical points directly. | |
