Airy function

Calculator and formulas for calculating the Airy functions for complex numbers

Airy function calculator


This function calculates the Airy functions Ai(x) and Bi(x) for complex numbers.

The Airy functionen \(\displaystyle Ai (x) \) and the related function \(\displaystyle Bi(x)\) denote a special function in mathematics for solving the linear differential equation\(\displaystyle y'' -xy=0\).

To perform the calculation, enter the complex number, then click the 'Calculate' button.

\(\displaystyle Ai(x)=\frac{1}{π}\sqrt{\frac{x}{3}}K_{\frac{1}{3}}\left(\frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}}\right)\)


\(\displaystyle Bi(x)=\sqrt{\frac{x}{3}} \left( I_{-\frac{1}{3}} \left( \frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}} \right) + I_{\frac{1}{3}}\left(\frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}}\right)\right) \)
