  • Miller (1946) tabulates Ai ( x ) , Ai ( x ) for x = 20 ( .01 ) 2 ; log 10 Ai ( x ) , Ai ( x ) / Ai ( x ) for x = 0 ( .1 ) 25 ( 1 ) 75 ; Bi ( x ) , Bi ( x ) for x = 10 ( .1 ) 2.5 ; log 10 Bi ( x ) , Bi ( x ) / Bi ( x ) for x = 0 ( .1 ) 10 ; M ( x ) , N ( x ) , θ ( x ) , ϕ ( x ) (respectively F ( x ) , G ( x ) , χ ( x ) , ψ ( x ) ) for x = 80 ( 1 ) 30 ( .1 ) 0 . Precision is generally 8D; slightly less for some of the auxiliary functions. Extracts from these tables are included in Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, Chapter 10), together with some auxiliary functions for large arguments.

    10: 9.17 Methods of Computation
    Among the integral representations of the Airy functions the Stieltjes transform (9.10.18) furnishes a way of computing Ai ( z ) in the complex plane, once values of this function can be generated on the positive real axis. …
