►Let denote the set of points on that are of finite order (that is, those points
for which there exists a positive integer with ), and let be the sets of points with integer and rational coordinates, respectively.
…The resulting points are then tested for finite order as follows.
…If any of these quantities is zero, then the point has finite order.
If any of , , is not an integer, then the point has infinite order.

►The frequent appearances of the Airy functions in both classical and quantum physics is associated with wave equations with turning points, for which asymptotic (WKBJ) solutions are exponential on one side and oscillatory on the other.
The Airy functions constitute uniform approximations whose region of validity includes the turning point and its neighborhood.
…
►Again, the quest for asymptotic approximations that are uniformly valid solutions to this equation in the neighborhoods of critical points leads (after choosing solvable equations with similar asymptotic properties) to Airy functions.
…
►This reference provides several examples of applications to problems in quantum mechanics in which Airy functions give uniform asymptotic approximations, valid in the neighborhood of a turning point.
