The idea is to use not the full Brieskorn module associated to the Gauss-Manin connection but a minimal (regular) differential equation satisfied by the period integral we are interested in. We show that the Bernstein polynomial associated is quite simple to compute for such (a,b)-modules and give a precise description of the exponents which appears in the asymptotic expansion which avoids integral shifts. We show a couple of explicit computations in some classical (but not so easy) examples. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0901.1953v1
