§9.18(i) Introduction

Additional listings of early tables of the functions treated in this chapter are given in Fletcher et al. (1962) and Lebedev and Fedorova (1960).

§9.18(ii) Real Variables

  • •

    Miller (1946) tabulates Ai⁡(x), Ai′⁡(x) for x=−20⁢(.01)⁢2; log10⁡Ai⁡(x), Ai′⁡(x)/Ai⁡(x) for x=0⁢(.1)⁢25⁢(1)⁢75; Bi⁡(x), Bi′⁡(x) for x=−10⁢(.1)⁢2.5; log10⁡Bi⁡(x), Bi′⁡(x)/Bi⁡(x) for x=0⁢(.1)⁢10; M⁡(x), N⁡(x), θ⁡(x), ϕ⁡(x) (respectively F⁡(x), G⁡(x), χ⁡(x), ψ⁡(x)) for x=−80⁢(1)−30⁢(.1)⁢0. Precision is generally 8D; slightly less for some of the auxiliary functions. Extracts from these tables are included in Abramowitz and Stegun (1964, Chapter 10), together with some auxiliary functions for large arguments.

  • •

    Zhang and Jin (1996, p. 337) tabulates Ai⁡(x), Ai′⁡(x), Bi⁡(x), Bi′⁡(x) for x=0⁢(1)⁢20 to 8S and for x=−20⁢(1)⁢0 to 9D.

    Woodward and Woodward (1946) tabulates the real and imaginary parts of Ai⁡(z), Ai′⁡(z), Bi⁡(z), Bi′⁡(z) for ℜ⁡z=−2.4⁢(.2)⁢2.4, ℑ⁡z=−2.4⁢(.2)⁢0. Precision is 4D.
