Integral involving Airy function and its Fourier transform

156 Views Asked by At

I would like to evaluate the following function analytically

$$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} ds \text{Ai}(s)e^{2\pi i s x}e^{\frac i 3 (2\pi s)^3}$$

I know from evaluating this numerically that the answer is of the form

$$c_0\text{Ai}(x)+c_1\text{Ai}'(x)$$

but I do not understand why.

Note that

$$\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} ds e^{2\pi i s x}e^{\frac i 3 (2\pi s)^3}=\text{Ai}(x)$$

Another potentially useful feature of the Airy function is orthogonality.
