Airy Functions

Description

Functions to compute the Airy functions Ai and Bi, their derivatives, and their zeros.

Usage

airy_ai(x)

airy_bi(x)

airy_ai_prime(x)

airy_bi_prime(x)

airy_ai_zero(m = NULL, start_index = NULL, number_of_zeros = NULL)

airy_bi_zero(m = NULL, start_index = NULL, number_of_zeros = NULL)

Arguments

x	Input numeric value
m	The index of the zero to find (1-based).
start_index	The starting index for the zeros (1-based).
number_of_zeros	The number of zeros to find.

Value

Single numeric value for the Airy functions and their derivatives, or a vector of length number_of_zeros for the multiple zero functions.
