Relation To Other Special Functions
For positive arguments, the Airy functions are related to the modified Bessel functions:
Here, I±1/3 and K1/3 are solutions of
The first derivative of Airy function is
Functions and can be represented in terms of rapidly converged integrals (see also modified Bessel functions )
For negative arguments, the Airy function are related to the Bessel functions:
Here, J±1/3 are solutions of .
The Scorer's functions solve the equation . They can also be expressed in terms of the Airy functions:

Famous quotes containing the words relation to, relation, special and/or functions:
“The difference between objective and subjective extension is one of relation to a context solely.”
—William James (18421910)
“You must realize that I was suffering from love and I knew him as intimately as I knew my own image in a mirror. In other words, I knew him only in relation to myself.”

“A special feature of the structure of our book is the monstrous but perfectly organic part that eavesdropping plays in it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (18991977)
“Adolescents, for all their self-involvement, are emerging from the self-centeredness of childhood. Their perception of other people has more depth. They are better equipped at appreciating others reasons for action, or the basis of others emotions. But this maturity functions in a piecemeal fashion. They show more understanding of their friends, but not of their teachers.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
