Computes the Airy function of the first kind.

Namespace: Meta.Numerics.Functions
Assembly: Meta.Numerics (in Meta.Numerics.dll) Version: 2.1.0.0 (2.1.0.0)

Syntax

            
 C#  Visual Basic  Visual C++  F# 
public static double AiryAi(
	double x
)
Public Shared Function AiryAi ( _
	x As Double _
) As Double
public:
static double AiryAi(
	double x
)
static member AiryAi : 
        x : float -> float 

Parameters

x
Double
The argument.

Return Value

The value Ai(x).

Remarks

Airy functions are solutions to the Airy differential equation:

The Airy functions appear in quantum mechanics in the semiclassical WKB solution to the wave functions in a potential.

For negative arguments, Ai(x) is oscilatory. For positive arguments, it decreases exponentially with increasing x.
