C***AUTHOR Amos, D. E., (SNL)
C***DESCRIPTION
C
C On KODE=1, CBIRY computes the complex Airy function Bi(z)
C or its derivative dBi/dz on ID=0 or ID=1 respectively.
C On KODE=2, a scaling option exp(abs(Re(zeta)))*Bi(z) or
C exp(abs(Re(zeta)))*dBi/dz is provided to remove the
C exponential behavior in both the left and right half planes
C where zeta=(2/3)*z**(3/2).
C
C The Airy functions Bi(z) and dBi/dz are analytic in the
C whole z-plane, and the scaling option does not destroy this
C property.

C *Long Description:
C
C Bi(z) and dBi/dz are computed from I Bessel functions by
C
C Bi(z) = c*sqrt(z)*( I(-1/3,zeta) + I(1/3,zeta) )
C dBi/dz = c* z *( I(-2/3,zeta) + I(2/3,zeta) )
C c = 1/sqrt(3)
C zeta = (2/3)*z**(3/2)
C
C when abs(z)>1 and from power series when abs(z)<=1.
C
C In most complex variable computation, one must evaluate ele-
C mentary functions. When the magnitude of Z is large, losses
C of significance by argument reduction occur. Consequently, if
C the magnitude of ZETA=(2/3)*Z**(3/2) exceeds U1=SQRT(0.5/UR),
C then losses exceeding half precision are likely and an error
C flag IERR=3 is triggered where UR=R1MACH(4)=UNIT ROUNDOFF.
C Also, if the magnitude of ZETA is larger than U2=0.5/UR, then
C all significance is lost and IERR=4. In order to use the INT
C function, ZETA must be further restricted not to exceed
C U3=I1MACH(9)=LARGEST INTEGER. Thus, the magnitude of ZETA
C must be restricted by MIN(U2,U3). In IEEE arithmetic, U1,U2,
C and U3 are approximately 2.0E+3, 4.2E+6, 2.1E+9 in single
C precision and 4.7E+7, 2.3E+15, 2.1E+9 in double precision.
C This makes U2 limiting is single precision and U3 limiting
C in double precision. This means that the magnitude of Z
C cannot exceed approximately 3.4E+4 in single precision and
C 2.1E+6 in double precision. This also means that one can
C expect to retain, in the worst cases on 32-bit machines,
C no digits in single precision and only 6 digits in double
C precision.
C
C The approximate relative error in the magnitude of a complex
C Bessel function can be expressed as P*10**S where P=MAX(UNIT
C ROUNDOFF,1.0E-18) is the nominal precision and 10**S repre-
C sents the increase in error due to argument reduction in the
C elementary functions. Here, S=MAX(1,ABS(LOG10(ABS(Z))),
C ABS(LOG10(FNU))) approximately (i.e., S=MAX(1,ABS(EXPONENT OF
C ABS(Z),ABS(EXPONENT OF FNU)) ). However, the phase angle may
C have only absolute accuracy. This is most likely to occur
C when one component (in magnitude) is larger than the other by
C several orders of magnitude. If one component is 10**K larger
C than the other, then one can expect only MAX(ABS(LOG10(P))-K,
C 0) significant digits; or, stated another way, when K exceeds
C the exponent of P, no significant digits remain in the smaller
C component. However, the phase angle retains absolute accuracy
C because, in complex arithmetic with precision P, the smaller
C component will not (as a rule) decrease below P times the
C magnitude of the larger component. In these extreme cases,
C the principal phase angle is on the order of +P, -P, PI/2-P,
C or -PI/2+P.
