On Asymptotics for the Airy Process
نویسنده
چکیده
The Airy process t → A(t), introduced by Prähofer and Spohn, is the limiting stationary process for a polynuclear growth model. Adler and van Moerbeke found a PDE in the variables s1, s2 and t for the probability Pr (A(0) ≤ s1, A(t) ≤ s2). Using this they were able, assuming the truth of a certain conjecture and appropriate uniformity, to obtain the first few terms of an asymptotic expansion for this probability as t → ∞, with fixed s1 and s2. We shall show that the expansion can be obtained by using the Fredholm determinant representation for the probability. The main ingredients are formulas obtained by the author and C. A. Tracy in the derivation of the Painlevé II representation for the distribution function F2 plus a few others obtained in the same way.

Asymptotic expansions for Riesz fractional derivatives of Airy functions and applications
Riesz fractional derivatives of a function, Dα xf(x) (also called Riesz potentials), are defined as fractional powers of the Laplacian. Asymptotic expansions for large x are computed for the Riesz fractional derivatives of the Airy function of the first kind, Ai(x), and the Scorer function, Gi(x). Reduction formulas are provided that allow one to express Riesz potentials of products of Airy fun...
متن کاملTwo-point Taylor Expansions of Analytic Functions
In deriving uniform asymptotic expansions of a certain class of integrals one encounters the problem of expanding a function, that is analytic in some domain Ω of the complex plane, in two points. The first mention of the use of such expansions in asymptotics is given in [1], where Airy-type expansions are derived for integrals having two nearby (or coalescing) saddle points. This reference doe...
متن کاملExistence and stability of accelerating solitons in sliding-frequency filter systems.
Sliding-frequency filter systems are known to admit two families of accelerating solitons: high-amplitude and low-amplitude families. Such equilibrium solutions are computed here, for a wide range of filter strengths, as self-similar solutions having Airy function asymptotics. In a limited parameter region, the profile possesses a secondary small hump. The high-amplitude solitons are found to b...
متن کاملAsymptotics of characteristic polynomials of Wigner matrices at the edge of the spectrum
We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the second-order correlation function of the characteristic polynomial of a Hermitian Wigner matrix at the edge of the spectrum. We show that the suitably rescaled second-order correlation function is asymptotically given by the Airy kernel, thereby generalizing the well-known result for the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE). Moreover, we obtain similar ...
متن کاملElzaki transform method for finding solutions to two-dimensional elasticity problems in polar coordinates formulated using Airy stress functions
In this paper, the Elzaki transform method is used for solving two-dimensional (2D) elasticity problems in plane polar coordinates. Airy stress function was used to express the stress compatibility equation as a biharmonic equation. Elzaki transform was applied with respect to the radial coordinate to a modified form of the stress compatibility equation, and the biharmonic equation simplified t...
