31: 1.17 Integral and Series Representations of the Dirac Delta
In applications in physics, engineering, and applied mathematics, (see Friedman (1990)), the Dirac delta distribution (§1.16(iii)) is historically and customarily replaced by the Dirac delta (or Dirac delta function) δ ( x ) . …From the mathematical standpoint the left-hand side of (1.17.2) can be interpreted as a generalized integral in the sense that …
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. Equations (1.17.12_1) through (1.17.16) may re-interpreted as spectral representations of completeness relations, expressed in terms of Dirac delta distributions, as discussed in §1.18(v), and §1.18(vi) Further mathematical underpinnings are referenced in §1.17(iv). …

For large negative values of a the real zeros of U ( a , x ) , U ( a , x ) , V ( a , x ) , and V ( a , x ) can be approximated by reversion of the Airy-type asymptotic expansions of §§12.10(vii) and 12.10(viii). …Here α = μ 4 3 a s , a s denoting the s th negative zero of the function Ai (see §9.9(i)). … where β = μ 4 3 a s , a s denoting the s th negative zero of the function Ai and … For further information, including associated functions, see Olver (1959).

    37: 28.8 Asymptotic Expansions for Large q
    These results are derived formally in Sips (1949, 1959, 1965). … The approximants are elementary functions, Airy functions, Bessel functions, and parabolic cylinder functions; compare §2.8. … The approximations are expressed in terms of Whittaker functions W κ , μ ( z ) and M κ , μ ( z ) with μ = 1 4 ; compare §2.8(vi). …With additional restrictions on z , uniform asymptotic approximations for solutions of (28.2.1) and (28.20.1) are also obtained in terms of elementary functions by re-expansions of the Whittaker functions; compare §2.8(ii). Subsequently the asymptotic solutions involving either elementary or Whittaker functions are identified in terms of the Floquet solutions me ν ( z , q ) 28.12(ii)) and modified Mathieu functions M ν ( j ) ( z , h ) 28.20(iii)). …

  • Expansion

    §4.13 has been enlarged. The Lambert W -function is multi-valued and we use the notation W k ( x ) , k , for the branches. The original two solutions are identified via Wp ( x ) = W 0 ( x ) and Wm ( x ) = W ± 1 ( x 0 i ) .

    Other changes are the introduction of the Wright ω -function and tree T -function in (4.13.1_2) and (4.13.1_3), simplification formulas (4.13.3_1) and (4.13.3_2), explicit representation (4.13.4_1) for d n W d z n , additional Maclaurin series (4.13.5_1) and (4.13.5_2), an explicit expansion about the branch point at z = e 1 in (4.13.9_1), extending the number of terms in asymptotic expansions (4.13.10) and (4.13.11), and including several integrals and integral representations for Lambert W -functions in the end of the section.

  • Subsection 18.15(i)

    In the line just below (18.15.4), it was previously stated “is less than twice the first neglected term in absolute value.” It now states “is less than twice the first neglected term in absolute value, in which one has to take cos θ n , m , = 1 .”

  • Subsection 9.7(iii)

    Bounds have been sharpened. The second paragraph now reads, “The n th error term is bounded in magnitude by the first neglected term multiplied by χ ( n + σ ) + 1 where σ = 1 6 for (9.7.7) and σ = 0 for (9.7.8), provided that n 0 in the first case and n 1 in the second case.” Previously it read, “In (9.7.7) and (9.7.8) the n th error term is bounded in magnitude by the first neglected term multiplied by 2 χ ( n ) exp ( σ π / ( 72 ζ ) ) where σ = 5 for (9.7.7) and σ = 7 for (9.7.8), provided that n 1 in both cases.” In Equation (9.7.16)

    Bi ( x ) e ξ π x 1 / 4 ( 1 + ( χ ( 7 6 ) + 1 ) 5 72 ξ ) ,
    Bi ( x ) x 1 / 4 e ξ π ( 1 + ( π 2 + 1 ) 7 72 ξ ) ,

    the bounds on the right-hand sides have been sharpened. The factors ( χ ( 7 6 ) + 1 ) 5 72 ξ , ( π 2 + 1 ) 7 72 ξ , were originally given by 5 π 72 ξ exp ( 5 π 72 ξ ) , 7 π 72 ξ exp ( 7 π 72 ξ ) , respectively.

    The validity constraint | ph z | < 1 6 π was added. Additionally, specific source citations are now given in the metadata for all equations in Chapter 9 Airy and Related Functions.
