Airy Function - Fourier Transform

Fourier Transform

Using the definition of the Airy function, it is straightforward to show its Fourier transform is given by

\mathcal{F}(\mathrm{Ai})(k) := \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \mathrm{Ai}(x)\ \mathrm{e}^{- 2\pi \mathrm{i} k x}\,dx = \mathrm{e}^{\frac{\mathrm{i}}{3}(2\pi k)^3}\,.

Famous quotes containing the word transform:

    “Bees plunder the flowers here and there, but afterward they make of them honey, which is all theirs; it is no longer thyme or marjoram. Even so with the pieces borrowed from others; one will transform and blend them to make a work that is all one’s own, that is, one’s judgement. Education, work, and study aim only at forming this.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
