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
