Airy power-series fundamental pair

ID: airy-power-series-fundamental-pair

For the Airy ordinary differential equation , a power series obeys and . Setting its first two coefficients to or gives
Empty products are one. The ratio test proves convergence on the whole complex plane. Termwise differentiation verifies the equation, and the initial normalization gives Wronskian one. By the Abel identity, the Wronskian remains one everywhere, so these solutions span the whole solution space.
