CAID

This function evaluates the derivative of the Airy function of the first kind for complex arguments.

Function Return Value

CAID — Complex function value. (Output)

Required Arguments

Z — Complex argument for which the Airy function value is desired. (Input)

Optional Arguments

SCALING — Logical argument specifying whether or not the scaling function will be applied to the Aiʹ(z) function value. (Input)
Default: SCALING = .false.

FORTRAN 90 Interface

Generic: C_CAID (Z)

Specific: The specific interface names are C_CAID and Z_CAID.

Description

The function Aiʹ(z) is defined to be the derivative of the Airy function, Ai(z) (see CAI).

An optional argument, SCALING, defines a scaling function s(z) that multiplies the results. This scaling function is

Example

In this example, Ai (0.49, 0.49) and Aiʹ(0.49, 0.49) are computed and printed.
