Scorer's function

(Redirected from Scorer function)

In mathematics, the Scorer's functions are special functions studied by Scorer (1950) and denoted Gi(x) and Hi(x).

Graph of and

Hi(x) and -Gi(x) solve the equation

and are given by

The Scorer's functions can also be defined in terms of Airy functions:

It can also be seen, just from the integral forms, that the following relationship holds:
