50 The function <a class="link" href="bi.html" title="Airy Bi Function">airy_bi</a> calculates
51 the Airy function Bi which is the second solution to the differential equation:
54 <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="../../../equations/airy.png"></span>
57 The final <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Chapter 14. Policies: Controlling Precision, Error Handling etc">Policy</a> argument is optional and can
58 be used to control the behaviour of the function: how it handles errors,
59 what level of precision to use etc. Refer to the <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Chapter 14. Policies: Controlling Precision, Error Handling etc">policy
60 documentation for more details</a>.
63 The following graph illustrates how this function changes as <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span>
64 changes: for negative <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> the function is cyclic, while
65 for positive <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> the value tends to infinity:

75 This function is implemented entirely in terms of the Bessel functions <a class="link" href="../bessel/mbessel.html" title="Modified Bessel Functions of the First and Second Kinds">cyl_bessel_i</a> and <a class="link" href="../bessel/bessel_first.html" title="Bessel Functions of the First and Second Kinds">cyl_bessel_j</a>
76 - refer to those functions for detailed accuracy information.
79 In general though, the relative error is low (less than 100 ε) for <span class="emphasis"><em>x
80 > 0</em></span> while only the absolute error is low for <span class="emphasis"><em>x <

88 Since this function is implemented in terms of other special functions, there
89 are only a few basic sanity checks, using test values from <a href="http://functions.wolfram.com" target="_top">functions.wolfram.com</a>.
