4: Sidebar 9.SB1: Supernumerary Rainbows

… ►Airy invented his function in 1838 precisely to describe this phenomenon more accurately than Young had done in 1800 when pointing out that supernumerary rainbows require the wave theory of light and are impossible to explain with Newton’s picture of light as a stream of independent corpuscles. The house in the picture is Newton’s birthplace. …

5: 7.20 Mathematical Applications

… ►For applications of the complementary error function in uniform asymptotic approximations of integrals—saddle point coalescing with a pole or saddle point coalescing with an endpoint—see Wong (1989, Chapter 7), Olver (1997b, Chapter 9), and van der Waerden (1951). ►The complementary error function also plays a ubiquitous role in constructing exponentially-improved asymptotic expansions and providing a smooth interpretation of the Stokes phenomenon; see §§2.11(iii) and 2.11(iv). … ►Let the set $\{x(t),y(t),t\}$ be defined by $x(t)=C\left(t\right)$, $y(t)=S\left(t\right)$, $t\ge 0$. Then the set $\{x(t),y(t)\}$ is called Cornu’s spiral: it is the projection of the corkscrew on the $\{x,y\}$-plane. …Furthermore, because $dy/dx=\tan \left(\frac{1}{2}\pi t^2\right)$, the angle between the $x$-axis and the tangent to the spiral at $P(t)$ is given by $\frac{1}{2}\pi t^2$. …

§2.11(iv) Stokes Phenomenon

… ►That the change in their forms is discontinuous, even though the function being approximated is analytic, is an example of the Stokes phenomenon. Where should the change-over take place? Can it be accomplished smoothly? … ►For higher-order Stokes phenomena see Olde Daalhuis (2004b) and Howls et al. (2004). …

7: 2.7 Differential Equations

… ►To include the point at infinity in the foregoing classification scheme, we transform it into the origin by replacing $z$ in (2.7.1) with $1/z$; see Olver (1997b, pp. 153–154). … ►in which $C_1$, $C_2$ are constants, the so-called Stokes multipliers. … ►For the calculation of Stokes multipliers see Olde Daalhuis and Olver (1995b). … ►We cannot take $f=x$ and $g=\ln x$ because $\int g{f}^{-1/2}dx$ would diverge as $x\to +\mathrm{\infty }$. Instead set $f=x+\ln x$, $g=0$. …

… ►For these and other error bounds see Olver (1997b, pp. 109–112), with $\alpha =\frac{1}{2}$ and $z$ replaced by $z^2$; compare (7.11.2). ►For re-expansions of the remainder terms leading to larger sectors of validity, exponential improvement, and a smooth interpretation of the Stokes phenomenon, see §§2.11(ii)–2.11(iv) and use (7.11.3). … ►

Notational Change (effective with 1.0.9):

Previously the RHS of this equation was written as $\frac{1}{\pi z}{\sum }_{m=0}^{\mathrm{\infty }}{(-1)}^m\frac{1\cdot 3\cdot 5\mathrm{\cdots }(4m-1)}{{(\pi z^2)}^{2m}}$. We have rewritten the sum more concisely using Pochhammer’s symbol.
