In the physical sciences, the Airy function (or Airy function of the first kind ) Ai( x ) is a special function named after the British astronomer George Biddell Airy (1801–1892). The function Ai( x ) and the related function Bi( x ) , are linearly independent solutions to the differential equation d 2 y d x 2 − x y = 0 , {\displaystyle {\frac {d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}-xy=0,} known as the Airy equation or the Stokes equation .

108-507: A straight line as is the case in symmetric beams. This is at expense of the low-intensity tail being spread in the opposite direction, so the overall momentum of the beam is of course conserved. The Airy function underlies the form of the intensity near an optical directional caustic , such as that of the rainbow (called supernumerary rainbow). Historically, this was the mathematical problem that led Airy to develop this special function. In 1841, William Hallowes Miller experimentally measured

The asymptotic behaviour of the Airy functions as | z | goes to infinity at a constant value of arg ( z ) depends on arg( z ) : this is called the Stokes phenomenon .

576-454: The Fourier transform requires y to decay to zero fast enough, and Bi grows to infinity exponentially fast, so it cannot be obtained via Fourier transform. The Airy function is the solution to the time-independent Schrödinger equation for a particle confined within a triangular potential well and for a particle in a one-dimensional constant force field. For the same reason, it also serves to provide uniform semiclassical approximations near
