Airy Functions of Imaginary Argument
There appears to be an error in computing the values of Airy functions and their derivatives of purely imaginary argument unless z is exactly 0. For example:
>> z = 1i; [ airy(0, z) airy(1, z) airy(2, z) airy(3, z) ].'
ans =
0.331493305432141 - 0.317449858968444i
-0.432492659841807 + 0.0980478562292432i
0.648858208330395 + 0.344958634768048i
0.135026646710819 - 0.128837386781255i
>> z = mp('1i'); [ airy(0, z) airy(1, z) airy(2, z) airy(3, z) ].'
ans =
0
0
0
0
This bug seems to affect only values of z with exactly zero real part:
>> z = mp('1e-100+1i'); [ airy(0, z) airy(1, z) airy(2, z) airy(3, z) ].'
ans =
0.3314933054321411889845293326171343 - 0.3174498589684437734776429279092585i
