Definition
The derivative $\operatorname{Bi}'$ of the Airy function of the second kind [2]. This table gives its values at intrinsic and bounded reference arguments.
Parameters
$x$
—   argument ($x\in\mathbb{R}$)
Formulas
(1)
$\operatorname{Bi}'(0)=3^{1/6}/\Gamma(1/3)$ [3].
(2)
For real $x$, $\operatorname{Ai}(x)\operatorname{Bi}'(x)-\operatorname{Ai}'(x)\operatorname{Bi}(x)=1/\pi$ [4].
(3)
$\int_0^\infty u[e^{-u^3+ku}+\cos(u^3+ku)]\,du=\pi3^{-2/3}\operatorname{Bi}^{\prime}(k/3^{1/3})$.
Comments
(4)
The normalisation is the standard pair of solutions of Airy\'s differential equation [2]. Values on both sides of the origin are listed: $\operatorname{Ai}$ decays and $\operatorname{Bi}$ grows for positive $x$, while both oscillate for negative $x$.
(5)
At $x=0$ the value is a Gamma-function value, $\operatorname{Bi}'(0)=3^{1/6}/\Gamma(1/3)$ [3], and $\Gamma(1/3)$ and $\Gamma(2/3)$ are in the table of Gamma values.
(6)
Let $0>b_1>b_2>\cdots$ be the negative real zeros of $\operatorname{Bi}$, ordered from the origin [6]. The selected values are the slopes at the successive zeros, not the zero locations. The origin is the initial derivative anchor.
(7)
The exploratory reference arguments $x=\pm1/2,\pm1,\pm2,\pm4,\pm8$ give a sparse set of simple real inputs on both sides of the Airy turning point. They complement root-indexed values with near-origin, moderate and larger arguments. This is a bounded identification reference, not a claim that each point has a documented application [7].
(8)
The change of variable $t=3^{1/3}u$ in the defining cubic integrals gives $x=k/3^{1/3}$ when the cubic coefficient is one and the linear coefficient is the integer $k$. The finite range $1\leq|k|\leq2$ is an exploratory simple-coefficient reference choice, not a source-prescribed cutoff [8].
(9)
The current generate.py reproduces the complete attached selection, including the retained entries. Their original written values and entry comments are preserved rather than reassigned to a new source. The selection manifest records the predecessor revision and source hashes; earlier generators and checks remain historical provenance, not the enumeration of this extension.

Data properties
Entries are of type: real number
Table is complete: no (it holds the origin and the first twenty slopes at zeros specified in (6); the selection is not exhaustive over the real domain. In addition, it includes the simple real arguments $\pm1/2,\pm1,\pm2,\pm4,\pm8$ and unit-cubic arguments $k/3^{1/3}$ for $1\leq|k|\leq2$. The exploratory families are identification references with practical finite bounds, not claims of documented applications for every input. All prior entries are retained.)
How they were obtained:

All retained values and metadata are preserved, including their precision. New nonexact values have 100 significant digits. balanced_values.py reproduces the complete selection in balanced-selection.json with Arb balls, including uncertainty in exact irrational arguments and certified roots. A 640-bit guard is supplemented by measured accuracy checks and precision escalation.

Every written interval contains a freshly recomputed certified enclosure; every value is also checked with independent mpmath computations at 50 and 100 decimal guard digits. Exact origin anchors stay exact. Structural identities, root endpoint signs where applicable, and selected transformed definite integrals supplement these checks. See balanced-checks-evidence.json. Earlier checks-evidence.json and source attachments describe earlier selections and remain for provenance.
