The extended Airy kernel describes the space-time correlation functions for the Airy process, which is the limiting process for a polynuclear growth model. The Airy functions themselves are given by integrals in which the exponents have a cubic singularity, arising from the coalescence of two saddle points in an asymptotic analysis. Pearcey functions are given by integrals in which the exponent...

This paper considers the Riemann–Liouville fractional operator as a tool to reduce linear ordinary equations with variable coefficients to simpler problems, avoiding the singularities of the original equation. The main result is that this technique allow us to obtain an extension of the classical integral representation of the special functions related with the original differential equations. ...

In this paper a general analytical solution is obtained to find stress distribution in a finite elastic plate with a circular or square hole subjected to arbitrary biaxial partial loading using modified boundary condition by assuming plane stress conditions. The method employed is based on solution of circular hole in finite rectangular plate. This plate is mapped to circular ones and the parti...

Integral representations are onsidered of solutions of the Airy di erential equation w z w = 0 for omputing Airy fun tions for omplex values of z. In a rst method ontour integral representations of the Airy fun tions are written as non-os illating integrals for obtaining stable representations, whi h are evaluated by the trapezoidal rule. In a se ond method an integral representation is evaluat...

A family of generalized Jinc functions is defined and analyzed. The zero-order one is just the traditional Jinc function. In terms of these functions, series-form expressions are presented for the Fresnel diffraction of a circular aperture illuminated by converging spherical waves or plane waves. The leading term is nothing but the Airy formula for the Fraunhofer diffraction of circular apertur...

This paper considers Darboux transformations of a bispectral operator which preserve its bispectrality. A sufficient condition for this to occur is given, and applied to the case of generalized Airy operators of arbitrary order r > 1. As a result, the bispectrality of a large family of algebras of rank r is demonstrated. An involution on these algebras is exhibited which exchanges the role of s...

We introduce the generalized Airy-Gauss (AiG) beams and analyze their propagation through optical systems described by ABCD matrices with complex elements in general. The transverse mathematical structure of the AiG beams is form-invariant under paraxial transformations. The conditions for square integrability of the beams are studied in detail. The model of the AiG beam describes in a more rea...
