21: 1.17 Integral and Series Representations of the Dirac Delta
From the mathematical standpoint the left-hand side of (1.17.2) can be interpreted as a generalized integral in the sense that … Hence comparison with (1.17.5) shows that (1.17.9) can be interpreted as a generalized integral (1.17.3) with … For a generalization of (1.17.14) see Maximon (1991). …
Airy Functions9.2)
In the language of physics and applied mathematics, these equations indicate the normalizations chosen for these non- L 2 improper eigenfunctions of the differential operators (with derivatives respect to spatial co-ordinates) which generate them; the normalizations (1.17.12_1) and (1.17.12_2) are explicitly derived in Friedman (1990, Ch. 4), the others follow similarly. …

    The function g has a smooth amplitude. … For example, the diffraction catastrophe Ψ 2 ( x , y ; k ) defined by (36.2.10), and corresponding to the Pearcey integral (36.2.14), can be approximated by the Airy function Ψ 1 ( ξ ( x , y ; k ) ) when k is large, provided that x and y are not small. … For Ai and Ai see §9.2. …The coefficients of Ai and Ai are real if y is real and g is real analytic. …

    §10.72(i) Differential Equations with Turning Points
    Bessel functions and modified Bessel functions are often used as approximants in the construction of uniform asymptotic approximations and expansions for solutions of linear second-order differential equations containing a parameter. … In regions in which (10.72.1) has a simple turning point z 0 , that is, f ( z ) and g ( z ) are analytic (or with weaker conditions if z = x is a real variable) and z 0 is a simple zero of f ( z ) , asymptotic expansions of the solutions w for large u can be constructed in terms of Airy functions or equivalently Bessel functions or modified Bessel functions of order 1 3 9.6(i)). … If f ( z ) has a double zero z 0 , or more generally z 0 is a zero of order m , m = 2 , 3 , 4 , , then uniform asymptotic approximations (but not expansions) can be constructed in terms of Bessel functions, or modified Bessel functions, of order 1 / ( m + 2 ) . …
