airy

Airy functions of the first and second kind, and their derivatives

Syntax

a = airy(z)
a = airy(fun, z)
a = airy(fun, z, scaled)

Arguments

z
array of decimal or complex numbers of any size, from scalr to hypermatrix.

fun
Selected Airy function to evaluate. It can be either a string among "Ai" "dAi" "Bi" "dBi", or an equivalent integer in [0, 3] (for compatibility with Octave and Julia)
fun Description
0"Ai"Airy function of the first kind (default)
1"dAi"Derivative Ai' of Ai
2"Bi"Airy function of the second kind
3"dBi"Derivative Bi' of Bi

scaled
Single boolean or integer 0|1. Default %F. When scaled is %T or set to 1, the raw result is scaled by the following factors before being returned:
Ai, dAi : exp(z^1.5 * 2/3) Bi, dBi : exp(-|real(z^1.5)| * 2/3)

Description

For a real x variable, the Airy functions of the first and second kind -- respectively Ai(x) and Bi(x) -- are independent real solutions y(x) of the Airy differential equation y'' = x.y. They are defined as the convergent integrals

Ai(x) = 1/π \int_0^∞ cos(t^3/3 + xt) dt
and
Bi(x) = 1/π \int_0^∞ [sin(t^3/3 + xt) + exp(-t^3/3 + xt)] dt

These definitions can be extended to the complex plane, for any z complex variable, as

Ai(z) = 1/2π \int_R exp(i(t^3/3 + zt)) dt

Let us note the properties

Ai(z´)=Ai(z)´  Bi(z´)=Bi(z)´ with z´ the complex conjugate.

In Scilab, Ai, Bi, and their first derivative are computed through Bessel and gamma functions.

Examples

With real numbers

x = -10:0.05:3;
clf
drawlater

subplot(2,1,1)  // Ai, Bi
plot(x, airy(x), "b", x, airy(2,x), "r")
gca().margins(4) = 0.08;
gca().data_bounds(3:4) = [-0.5 1.25];
gca().tight_limits = "on";
xgrid(color("grey60"),1,7)
legend(["Ai(x)" "Bi(x)"],"in_upper_left")
title("Airy functions", "fontsize", 3)

subplot(2,1,2)  // Derivatives
plot(x, airy(1, x), "b", x, airy(3,x), "r")
legend(["Ai''(x)" "Bi''(x)"],"in_upper_left")

gca().x_location = "top";
gca().x_ticks.labels = emptystr(gca().x_ticks.labels);
gca().data_bounds(3:4) = [-1 2.5];
