Maxima Function
airy_ai (x)
The Airy function Ai, as defined in Abramowitz and Stegun, Handbook of Mathematical Functions, Section 10.4.
The Airy equation diff (y(x), x, 2) - x y(x) = 0
has two
linearly independent solutions, y = Ai(x)
and y = Bi(x)
.
The derivative diff (airy_ai(x), x)
is airy_dai(x)
.
If the argument x
is a real or complex floating point
number, the numerical value of airy_ai
is returned
when possible.
