§9.16 Physical Applications
Airy functions are applied in many branches of both classical and quantum physics. … In fluid dynamics, Airy functions enter several topics. …An application of Airy functions to the solution of this equation is given in Gramtcheff (1981). Airy functions play a prominent role in problems defined by nonlinear wave equations. …

  • Corless et al. (1992) describe a method of approximation based on subdividing into a triangular mesh, with values of Ai ( z ) , Ai ( z ) stored at the nodes. Ai ( z ) and Ai ( z ) are then computed from Taylor-series expansions centered at one of the nearest nodes. The Taylor coefficients are generated by recursion, starting from the stored values of Ai ( z ) , Ai ( z ) at the node. Similarly for Bi ( z ) , Bi ( z ) .

For asymptotic approximations to OP’s that correspond to Freud weights with more general functions Q ( x ) see Deift et al. (1999a, b), Bleher and Its (1999), and Kriecherbauer and McLaughlin (1999). Generalized Freud weights have the form … For (generalized) Freud weights on a subinterval of [ 0 , ) see also Levin and Lubinsky (2005).

    §16.18 Special Cases
    The F 1 1 and F 1 2 functions introduced in Chapters 13 and 15, as well as the more general F q p functions introduced in the present chapter, are all special cases of the Meijer G -function. …As a corollary, special cases of the F 1 1 and F 1 2 functions, including Airy functions, Bessel functions, parabolic cylinder functions, Ferrers functions, associated Legendre functions, and many orthogonal polynomials, are all special cases of the Meijer G -function. Representations of special functions in terms of the Meijer G -function are given in Erdélyi et al. (1953a, §5.6), Luke (1969a, §§6.4–6.5), and Mathai (1993, §3.10).
