Abstract:

This paper contains graphs and tables of the function \[ A{i_{p,q}}(\alpha ,x) = \int _{ - \infty }^\infty {{{(2\pi )}^{ - 1}}\exp \{ i{y^p}/p - \alpha {y^q}/q + ixy\} \;dy} \] and its indefinite integral for $p = 3,5,7$, for $q = 2,4,6$, and for several values of $\alpha$ with $\alpha \geqslant 0$. It is shown how these tables should influence the choice of an artificial viscosity for a difference scheme for a linear hyperbolic equation.
