On the real line, $\mathop{\mathrm{Ai}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x\right)$ , ${\mathop{\mathrm{Ai}\/}\nolimits^{{\prime}}}\!\left(x\right)$ , $\mathop{\mathrm{Bi}\/}\nolimits\!\left(x\right)$ , ${\mathop{\mathrm{Bi}\/}\nolimits^{{\prime}}}\!\left(x\right)$ each have an infinite number of zeros, all of which are negative. They are denoted by $\mathop{a_{{k}}\/}\nolimits$ , $\mathop{a^{{\prime}}_{{k}}\/}\nolimits$ , $\mathop{b_{{k}}\/}\nolimits$ , $\mathop{b^{{\prime}}_{{k}}\/}\nolimits$ , respectively, arranged in ascending order of absolute value for $k=1,2,\ldots.$

$\mathop{\mathrm{Ai}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right)$ and ${\mathop{\mathrm{Ai}\/}\nolimits^{{\prime}}}\!\left(z\right)$ have no other zeros. However, $\mathop{\mathrm{Bi}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right)$ and ${\mathop{\mathrm{Bi}\/}\nolimits^{{\prime}}}\!\left(z\right)$ each have an infinite number of complex zeros. They lie in the sectors $\tfrac{1}{3}\pi<\mathop{\mathrm{ph}\/}\nolimits z<\tfrac{1}{2}\pi$ and $-\tfrac{1}{2}\pi<\mathop{\mathrm{ph}\/}\nolimits z<-\tfrac{1}{3}\pi$ , and are denoted by $\mathop{\beta _{{k}}\/}\nolimits$ , $\mathop{\beta^{{\prime}}_{{k}}\/}\nolimits$ , respectively, in the former sector, and by $\bar{\mathop{\beta _{{k}}\/}\nolimits}$ , $\bar{\mathop{\beta^{{\prime}}_{{k}}\/}\nolimits}$ , in the conjugate sector, again arranged in ascending order of absolute value (modulus) for $k=1,2,\ldots.$ See §9.3(ii) for visualizations.

For the distribution in $\Complex$ of the zeros of ${\mathop{\mathrm{Ai}\/}\nolimits^{{\prime}}}\!\left(z\right)-\sigma\mathop{\mathrm{Ai}\/}\nolimits\!\left(z\right)$ , where $\sigma$ is an arbitrary complex constant, see Muraveĭ (1976).
